UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation commissioned geotechnical survey services for the new development at Sumner Buildings. The work covers survey activities associated with understanding ground conditions and informing the development, with the detailed scope set out in the procurement documents. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction works or the supply of equipment. The buyer was the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, acting for the City of London. The requirement was delivered in connection with Sumner Buildings in the City of London. Businesses suited to this opportunity would typically provide specialist geotechnical investigation and survey services for urban development projects, working from technical instructions and producing information that can support design, construction planning and associated engineering decisions.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Lucion Ground Engineering Limited. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026, with an active contract period from 1 July 2026 to 1 August 2026. Its gross value was £64,310.40. The award covered survey services under the geotechnical requirement. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, and the tender is recorded as complete. The published outcome identifies Lucion Ground Engineering Limited as the selected supplier. The contract value is below the applicable threshold. The process was run by the City of London Corporation for the Sumner Buildings development, with the award relating to the single completed lot.

This procurement is useful market evidence for firms providing geotechnical surveys to public-sector development clients in dense urban settings. A credible competitor would need practical capability in geotechnical investigation and survey delivery, together with the technical staff, equipment and reporting processes needed to turn site findings into usable engineering information. Experience of working on new-build developments and coordinating with a client’s wider design or project team would strengthen a future response. Suppliers should also be able to manage a defined, short-duration assignment efficiently, comply with technical instructions and produce clear, defensible outputs. The selected supplier was a large specialist ground-engineering business, indicating that the buyer valued established delivery capacity and relevant technical expertise for this type of development-related survey work.
