## Summary

West Suffolk Council has completed a tender for conducting surveys on Rougham Hill in Bury St Edmunds. This procurement, classified under geophysical and topographical surveys of archaeological sites, falls within the services category and is valued at £12,050. The project will span from 29th July 2024 to 29th October 2024 in the East of England. The contract was awarded to Sweco UK Ltd on 26th July 2024, after unfavourable conditions required additional equipment and site clearance to complete the work. This tender is a key step in a development scheme aimed at informing design work and decision-making related to the project's viability.

Companies with experience in similar survey activities and the capability to handle complex site conditions are well-suited to participate in such procurements. Successfully completing this contract can enhance a company's portfolio and position it for future public sector opportunities, particularly those related to site development and infrastructure projects in the East of England.
