Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport commissioned project close-out services for the Sevington Day 365 and Eastern Plot works. The scope covers the completion of ongoing archaeological monitoring and environmental monitoring associated with the site, including final deliverables and peer review. This is a specialist professional services requirement rather than construction work or the supply of physical goods. The work relates to the Sevington inland border facility and Eastern Plot in the United Kingdom. The procurement’s service classifications are archaeological services and environmental monitoring for construction. It would suit organisations able to manage environmental evidence, archaeological oversight, reporting and close-out activities on a major transport or infrastructure site, with the capability to complete existing monitoring programmes and deliver final technical outputs for a central government client.

The procurement has reached completion, with a contract awarded through a direct award to Mott Macdonald Limited. The stated reason was to complete ongoing archaeological and environmental monitoring and close out the project. The award was dated 2 September 2025 and had a value of £271,669.01 excluding VAT, or £326,002.82 including VAT. The contract was signed on 15 September 2025 and its value is £271,699.01 excluding VAT, or £326,038.81 including VAT. The contract period is 14 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. A time-only extension was recorded on 14 September 2026 to facilitate peer review of the final deliverable, following an earlier extension to facilitate completion of the final deliverable. One lot was involved. No competitive evaluation criteria are recorded because this was a direct award.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Transport for integrated archaeological monitoring and environmental monitoring during the close-out of a major transport-related site. A future competitor would need to show credible experience of taking over or completing ongoing monitoring programmes, coordinating archaeological and environmental specialists, and producing robust final deliverables suitable for government assurance and project closure. The requirement also indicates value in capability across both disciplines rather than archaeological or environmental work in isolation. Suppliers with established technical teams, reliable quality control, strong reporting and peer-review arrangements, and experience working alongside infrastructure or construction projects would be well placed. The successful supplier was a large professional services consultancy, indicating that the buyer valued sufficient organisational capacity to manage specialist work through final review and completion.
