UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council procured ground investigation works for the Ynyshir Embankment Slip, as part of a wider ground investigations and detailed design requirement. The scope concerns investigating ground conditions associated with the embankment slip and supporting the engineering design needed for the scheme. This is a professional engineering and inspection service, classified under architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The work is delivered in Ynyshir, for the council based in Pontypridd. The requirement is relevant to businesses that provide site investigation, geotechnical assessment, ground engineering, civil engineering support or related technical design services for public-sector infrastructure and slope-stability projects.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. Spencer Quantum Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 3 May 2027. Its value is £57,599.45 excluding VAT, or £69,119.34 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated as a services contract for architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The recorded contract is active, and the awarded scope covers the Ynyshir Embankment Slip ground investigation works. This outcome shows that the council used a restricted, below-threshold route rather than an open competition for this requirement.

This procurement is useful market evidence for firms working in geotechnical and civil engineering services. A credible competitor for similar work would need to undertake ground investigations for an embankment slip, interpret site and ground-condition information, and provide technically robust input to detailed engineering design. Relevant capability may include field investigation, geotechnical assessment, engineering inspection, reporting and coordination with a local authority’s infrastructure team. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating that the requirement was delivered at a scale suited to an established contractor with the capacity to manage a defined investigation and design-support commission. Businesses with comparable experience in slope stability, embankments, ground risk and public-sector engineering projects should track this buyer’s requirements and be ready to demonstrate technical competence and delivery capacity.
