Summary of the contracting process

The City of Doncaster Council, classified as a sub-central government public authority, has completed a procurement process for the project titled "DSA - Radar Geotechnical Survey." This procurement falls under the services category with additional classification in works, having been conducted using a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. The contract, worth £43,338 gross, with a net amount of £36,115, was awarded to G&J Geoenvironmental Consultants Ltd. The methodology involved sending high-frequency electromagnetic waves into the ground to map sub-surface features, a project significant to the engineering services industry. The award was finalised on 1st September 2025, with the contract timeframe running from 22nd September 2025 to 13th March 2026, and work to be executed in the UKE31 region of the United Kingdom.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in engineering services, particularly those specialising in geotechnical surveying and analysis. Companies with expertise in radar technology for sub-surface imaging would find this tender highly relevant. The absence of a competitive process due to the procurement method choice signals potential openness to innovation and unique technical skills, enabling small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like G&J Geoenvironmental Consultants Ltd to capitalise on their niche specialities in servicing public authorities. Businesses aiming to expand within regional government contracts can leverage similar opportunities for technological and operational growth.

Notice Title

DSA - Radar Geotechnical Survey

Notice Description

Radar Geotechnical Survey - It involves sending high-frequency electromagnetic waves into the ground using a radar system.

These reflections are captured and processed to create a cross-sectional image of the subsurface 1 2 3.
