Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Highways, a public undertaking, procured civil engineering coring and testing, and/or laboratory services for highway work. The requirement covered test drilling and boring, core preparation and analysis, and technical testing. Delivery is in North Yorkshire. The procurement was divided into two lots, enabling separate appointments for the work. The stated scope is for qualified and experienced suppliers to provide coring and testing services and/or laboratory services; the award records identify test drilling and boring for both lots. This is a highways-focused requirement rather than general laboratory work, and is relevant to businesses able to undertake site coring and testing, provide laboratory analysis, or deliver both elements.

The procurement is complete and both lots have been awarded following an open procedure. Lot 1 was awarded to M & G Investments Ltd for £311,819; Lot 2 was awarded to Igne Testing Limited for £257,527. Both awards are dated 14 October 2026. Each contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions, potentially extending the period to 31 October 2030. The original estimated values were £480,000 for Lot 1 and £360,000 for Lot 2. Each lot was evaluated equally on questionnaire quality and price, weighted 50% each. North Yorkshire Council is identified as the buyer, while North Yorkshire Highways managed the requirement. Seven bids were recorded for Lot 1 and six for Lot 2.

For suppliers assessing future North Yorkshire Highways work, these awards show demand for specialist highway coring and testing, including test drilling and boring, alongside laboratory services. A credible competitor would need the technical capability and suitably qualified, experienced staff to carry out field coring and testing and produce reliable laboratory analysis. The two-lot structure indicates that suppliers could provide a defined service element rather than necessarily covering every aspect of the requirement. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for both lots, and all recorded final-stage bidders were SMEs, showing that the work was within reach of smaller specialist providers. The evaluation gave equal weight to the quality of the questionnaire response and price, so suppliers need to demonstrate a strong technical and service approach as well as competitive costs.
