## Summary

The procurement process concerns a contract for ground investigation services, titled "569021 - Area 13 A590 Cross-a-Moor Roundabout Ground Investigation," initiated by Highways England. Located in the North West region of England, the tender was conducted under an open procurement method. The tender period ended on 17 October 2019, and the contract is scheduled to run from 2 December 2019 to 20 December 2019. With a total value of £40,000, this project involves various geotechnical and geo-environmental investigations at a specified site, including excavation, borehole drilling, and laboratory testing.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses in the geotechnical engineering and environmental consultancy sectors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that possess the necessary expertise and resources. Companies with experience in ground investigation services, including drilling and laboratory analysis, would be well-suited to compete, as the project requires specialised skills and careful compliance with industry standards. Engaging in such contracts not only fosters growth through reliable revenue streams but also enhances a company's portfolio within the public procurement landscape.

## Notice

This investigation will comprise 15 machine excavated trial pits to a depth of 4m BGL, five window sample boreholes to a depth of 6m BGL and five cable percussive boreholes to a depth of 15m BGL, three of which will be extended to a depth of 30m BGL with rotary follow-on drilling. The exploratory holes will also allow for installation of groundwater monitoring standpipes, infiltration testing and testing to determine Calfornia Bearing Ratio (CBR) values of the strata encountered. The works include associated geotechnical and geo-environmental laboratory testing and reporting. In addition, a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey, in accordance with PAS 128:2014, will be required to identify and verify underground service locations.
