UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield commissioned ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey services for Stansfield Road and Wheldale Farm. The work was intended to test the findings of archaeological heritage risk assessments by establishing whether archaeological remains are present. This is a specialist geophysical and ground-investigation requirement, including surveys of potentially significant archaeological sites. The delivery location is in the Wakefield area, within the United Kingdom. The appointed provider is a specialist consulting business based in Nottingham. Businesses with experience planning and carrying out GPR surveys, interpreting subsurface survey results and supporting archaeological investigations would be relevant to this type of requirement. The buyer is Wakefield’s sub-central public authority, rather than a private developer or commercial landowner.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the detailed method recorded as unknown, and consisted of one lot. BWB CONSULTING LIMITED was awarded the contract, which was signed on 17 August 2026. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 12 October 2026 and has a gross value of £16,000. The award covers services classified as ground investigation and geophysical surveys of archaeological sites. The procurement was evaluated as a service requirement, with the award relating to the single completed lot. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender itself is recorded as complete. The contracting authority is the Council of the City of Wakefield.

This procurement demonstrates Wakefield’s demand for targeted, relatively short-duration archaeological ground investigation rather than construction works or general surveying. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in ground-penetrating radar surveys and the capacity to deploy equipment and staff across named sites in the Wakefield area. The requirement also calls for results that can confirm or challenge archaeological heritage risk assessments, so relevant technical interpretation and clear reporting would be important. Experience of geophysical surveys at archaeological sites would help a competitor show that it can distinguish useful evidence from inconclusive findings and communicate the outcome to a public-sector client. Firms combining field survey delivery with ground-investigation and archaeological-sector understanding would be best placed when this buyer next needs comparable work.
