## Summary

UK Research & Innovation is inviting tenders for a project titled "UKRI-4413 BGS - Environmental monitoring borehole installation for assessing low level contamination in groundwater at sensitive sites." This project involves drilling and installing six shallow boreholes near Andover in Hampshire and near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, to monitor potential soil and groundwater contamination from the application of biosolids. The contract is categorised under "Drilling services" (CPV code 76300000) and falls within the services industry. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with an open procedure methodology. Key dates include the tender period ending on 10 January 2025, and the contract period running from 14 February 2025 to 28 April 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in drilling services and environmental monitoring. The project's relatively high budget of GBP 150,000 and its focus on advanced contamination assessment make it an appealing prospect for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant expertise. Companies involved in drilling, environmental consulting, and contamination assessment are well-suited to compete for this contract, given the specific technical requirements and the sensitive nature of the monitoring sites. Participation in this project can foster business growth by enhancing the company's portfolio with a high-profile governmental project.

## Notice

Environmental monitoring borehole installation for assessing low level contamination in groundwater at sensitive sites. As part of a project to assess potential soil and groundwater impacts from the surface application of biosolids on agricultural land, six shallow boreholes will be drilled and installed. These will be located near to Andover in Hampshire and near to Doncaster, South Yorkshire . The project aims to assess the type and quantity of a wide range of contaminants that may be introduced to soils and groundwater by the spread of biosolids. Therefore it is essential that a drilling methodology is used that considers the potential introduction of contaminants of interest to the study (metals, microplastics, PFAS, nutrients, pesticides and pharmaceuticals) as a result of the drilling works.
