Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing has awarded a contract to RSK Environment Limited for ground investigation and geotechnical surveys at Four Courts. The contract falls under the services category, specifically surveying services. The procurement process was initiated as a direct method due to its value being below the competitive threshold. Although the tendering stage was completed with the contract being signed on 23 October 2025, the actual services are scheduled from 1 November 2025 to 31 March 2026. The buying organisation, Southern Housing, is located in London, and the surveys will be conducted across several regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the environmental services sector, particularly SMEs like RSK Environment Limited, which successfully secured the contract. Such contracts can serve as a foothold in public sector procurement, especially for companies specialising in surveying and geotechnical services. Firms that possess expertise in ground investigation can leverage these opportunities to establish long-term relationships with public authorities and expand their portfolio across different regions in the UK. This type of work is particularly suited to businesses with capabilities in meticulous site assessments and environmental consultancy services.
