UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council is seeking a suitably qualified ground investigation services provider to carry out ground investigation works at Higham House, in Newcastle upon Tyne. The work must follow the project’s ARUP ground investigation specification. This is a services contract focused on investigating ground conditions at the site, rather than construction works. The council is the buying organisation and the work is to be delivered in Newcastle upon Tyne.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The contract is a single lot. The deadline for questions was 30 October 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for submitting offers was 6 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 16 November to 31 December 2026. Its estimated value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. Offers are assessed on price and quality, weighted 80% and 20% respectively. Electronic submission is allowed. The procurement is below the relevant threshold.

This requirement suits small and medium-sized suppliers, which the council has identified as suitable participants. It is aimed at providers qualified to deliver ground investigation work and able to carry out investigations in line with the ARUP specification. Firms with relevant technical capability and capacity to complete site investigations at Higham House during the contract period are likely to be well placed. The evaluation places substantially greater weight on price than quality, so suppliers should be able to offer a competitive price while meeting the specified quality requirements.
