The tender period ended on 27 September 2018, and the contract period commenced on 15 October 2018, lasting until 14 October 2021. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically related to consulting services for water supply and waste consultancy, with a total contract value of £70,000 and a minimum value of £45,000. The procurement was conducted through an open method, allowing a wide range of competitors to participate. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy and monitoring services, particularly those with experience in groundwater assessment and installation of monitoring equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete due to the project’s suitability criteria. Businesses equipped to meet technical challenges in hydrogeology and flood risk management will find this tender aligns well with their capabilities, offering a platform to showcase their expertise in the field while contributing to environmental safeguarding initiatives. ## Notice The Council is required to assess flood risk, drainage and hydrogeology/ groundwater constraints at a potential development site east of Lutterworth in Leicestershire. A map showing the study site and its general location is presented as Figure 1. The site is centred at approximate grid reference SP 554 848 (455450E, 284850N) approximately 1.25 km east of Lutterworth town centre. The development site comprises farm land and within the site lies the Misterton Marshes SSSI. In support of the development, Natural England has requested that groundwater level monitoring takes place over a number of years to help determine the hydrogeological regime in the vicinity of the SSSI. A site location plan is attached. The Council is seeking a contractor to install groundwater level monitoring equipment in pre-existing monitoring wells and to monitor groundwater levels for up to 3 years initially and possibly longer. The provisional approximate locations of the boreholes are shown on the attached Figure 2. The site is underlain by Oadby Member (glacial till) over Shawell Sand and Gravel Formation and locally by Alluvium over the till. It is the groundwater levels in the Alluvium and the Shawell Sand and Gravel that require monitoring. The wells are expected to range between 5m and 25m deep depending on the depth to the target stratum which is largely dependent on topography. The site is predominantly open farm land and is therefore not secure. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c651be48-95e2-49fc-8815-820e5e7b7ee7 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 27 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 Nov 2018 | | Contract period | 9 Nov 2018 - 14 Oct 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £70,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £35,305 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | AMBISENSE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71800000 - Consulting services for water-supply and waste consultancy ## Release History - 14 Dec 2018 at 11:19 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c651be48-95e2-49fc-8815-820e5e7b7ee7 - 14 Sep 2018 at 14:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44be42cc-3a8a-45c4-b063-b57b3fcb4902 - 14 Sep 2018 at 13:36 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e5134aa-18ab-443f-b21d-df6bdcbb8ac3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c651be48-95e2-49fc-8815-820e5e7b7ee7 14th December 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44be42cc-3a8a-45c4-b063-b57b3fcb4902 14th September 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e5134aa-18ab-443f-b21d-df6bdcbb8ac3 14th September 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=5c8a36e9-20b8-e811-80ed-005056b64545 Please use the following link to register and access the tender documents ## Notice URLs - http://www.leicestershire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
