Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council is initiating a tender process with an open procedure to establish a framework for ground investigation works, valued at £1,200,000. The procurement aims to commence work by September 2026, lasting until September 2030. This active opportunity, titled "WCC Ground Investigation Works Framework," falls under the works category and will be carried out across regions within the UK, primarily focusing on the UK's 'UKG1' area. The deadline for tender submissions is set for 19 August 2026. Interested parties must register and submit their expressions of interest through Warwickshire County Council's e-tendering portal.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in ground investigation, particularly those capable of delivering within the specified budget and framework requirements. SMEs are encouraged to participate as the procurement seeks a variety of suppliers, allowing for up to five participants within the framework. The opportunity is well-suited for companies experienced in conducting detailed ground investigation works and those who can competitively bid with strong pricing strategies while demonstrating high-quality work, as both price and quality will be essential evaluation criteria in the tender process.
