Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council commissioned topographical surveying and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) utility surveying for A607 Sleaford Road and Grantham Road in Bracebridge Heath. The work also included traffic management during the surveys to accommodate Lincs Lab carrying out core tests at the junctions. The supplier was asked to price the topographical and GPR surveys separately. This is a civil engineering and site investigation services requirement, covering survey data and underground utility detection for the named roads and junctions. The buying organisation is Lincolnshire County Council, and delivery is in Bracebridge Heath, Lincolnshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Premier Surveys Limited. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and ran from 20 July to 20 August 2026. Its value was £48,045 excluding VAT (£57,654 including VAT). The requirement was arranged as one lot. The scope required separate prices for the topographical survey and GPR utility survey; the published information does not state a separate scoring or evaluation formula. The procurement covered survey work at the A607 Sleaford Road and Grantham Road, including traffic management to allow junction core testing by Lincs Lab.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to deliver accurate topographical surveys and ground-penetrating radar utility surveys for road and junction works, while coordinating traffic management around other investigations such as core testing. The work suits surveying firms with the equipment and technical capability to map surface features and detect underground services, and the operational capacity to manage safe access and work alongside another contractor. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized business, showing that this scale of requirement was delivered by an SME. Suppliers with experience of civil engineering survey commissions for local authorities, and the ability to price distinct survey elements separately, would be well placed to compete when comparable work is next procured by Lincolnshire County Council.
