Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mining Remediation Authority commissioned drilling and geophysical investigation at Old Fordell Adit, as ground investigation work under its Ground Investigation Framework. The work falls within construction and ground investigation services, supporting the Authority’s mining remediation activity. Delivery is in Scotland; the procurement data identifies the UK region but does not name a town or site address beyond Old Fordell Adit. The framework covers ground investigation and this call-off was described as a repetition of existing works or services. The selected supplier was Soil Engineering Geoservices Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise. The requirement was grouped as one lot, covering the Old Fordell Adit investigation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Soil Engineering Geoservices Ltd. The award was made on 6 September 2026, and the contract is active. Its value is £176,348.24. The Mining Remediation Authority used a limited call-off procedure under its existing Ground Investigation Framework, without a new call for competition; that framework had been competitively established. Price was the stated award criterion. One lot covered the ground investigation work, and the lot is marked cancelled in the procurement data, although the associated award and contract are active. The contract value is reported for the contract; no contract end date or duration is provided.

This award shows demand from the Mining Remediation Authority for specialist ground investigation at a mining site, including drilling and geophysical work. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the technical capability and equipment to carry out both investigation methods, and the capacity to deliver site-based work in Scotland. The call-off was placed through an established Ground Investigation Framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to understand and qualify for the relevant framework route as well as compete effectively on price. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the scale of this individual requirement was accessible to a smaller specialist business. Experience in ground investigation and work connected with mining remediation would be directly relevant.
