Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured services to re-scan remediated areas and carry out ground-penetrating radar (GPR) works. The requirement falls within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services and is intended to inspect or verify areas that have undergone remediation. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Research and Innovation is the buying organisation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd acting as the procuring entity and shared services provider. This is a specialist technical services requirement rather than a supply of goods or a construction project in its own right. It may suit firms providing non-destructive investigation, subsurface surveying, GPR surveying, post-remediation verification or related engineering inspection services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition, on the stated basis that only a particular supplier could provide the requirement for technical reasons. One completed lot covered the services. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 6 August 2026. The awarded supplier is AMALGAMATED CONSTRUCTION LTD. The contract value is £16,197 excluding VAT, or £19,436.40 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The procurement was evaluated through a technical-availability rationale rather than a competitive tender, and the contract is active.

This procurement indicates demand from UK Research and Innovation for tightly defined technical inspection work following remediation, combining area re-scanning with ground-penetrating radar. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable capability in GPR surveying, subsurface investigation and inspection of remediated areas, supported by appropriately qualified technical staff and reliable field equipment. Experience translating survey results into clear evidence for an engineering or remediation context would be relevant. The previous award also shows that the requirement was treated as technically specialised and supplied by a large construction and engineering business. Competitors would therefore need to show a distinctive technical capability, relevant completed work and the capacity to undertake short, focused assignments for this buyer.
