Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport commissioned services to close out ongoing environmental monitoring and archaeological work for the Sevington Inland Border Facility, covering the Day 365 and Eastern Plot technical works. The requirement supports completion of the project’s remaining environmental and archaeological obligations. The work is classified as archaeological services and environmental monitoring for construction. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the procurement managed by the Department for Transport, a central government authority. This is a specialist technical services requirement rather than construction delivery itself, and is relevant to firms that undertake archaeological monitoring, environmental monitoring, or both in connection with major infrastructure and border facility projects.

The procurement is complete following a direct award to Mott Macdonald Limited. The award was made on 2 September 2025, with a gross value of £326,002.82 (£271,669.01 excluding VAT). The contract was signed on 15 September 2025 and runs from 15 September 2025 to 26 June 2026. The contract value is £326,038.81 gross (£271,699.01 excluding VAT). The buyer justified the direct award because the work completed ongoing archaeological and environmental monitoring and closed out the project. A proposed change extends the contract period from 14 August 2026 to 11 September 2026 to facilitate completion of the final deliverable. The procurement used one completed lot.

This award indicates demand from the Department for Transport for specialist environmental and archaeological support during the close-out of major infrastructure projects. A credible future competitor would need demonstrated capability in archaeological monitoring and environmental monitoring for construction, with the ability to coordinate both disciplines through the final stages of a project. Relevant experience should include managing ongoing site-based evidence collection, maintaining technically robust monitoring records, addressing environmental and archaeological obligations, and producing final deliverables suitable for public-sector project closure. Suppliers are likely to be strongest where they can provide an integrated team, work within an established project environment, take responsibility for outstanding tasks, and maintain continuity from live monitoring through completion. The requirement is suited to established technical consultancies with sufficient capacity for specialist, time-critical close-out work.
