## Summary

The Norwich City Council is seeking to contract services for a ground condition survey at the Mile Cross Business Centre in Norwich, specifically designated as project number 9684. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, following the completion of an open procedure tender initiated on 4th August 2017. The contract, which has a total value of £30,000, was awarded on 29th August 2017 and is set to commence on 1st September 2017, lasting until 31st December 2017. This technical testing project falls under the 'Technical testing, analysis and consultancy services' category and is essential for confirming the site's suitability for potential regeneration or disposal. 

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the environmental consultancy and geotechnical testing sectors. Companies experienced in hazardous material identification and site remediation, particularly those capable of conducting detailed site investigations, will find this project particularly suitable. Given the complex nature of the site, which has a history of varied commercial use—including potential contamination—respondents should have the requisite expertise in handling similar assessments. This tender enables businesses to establish their credibility through high-stakes projects with local government authorities, fostering long-term relationships in the public sector.

## Notice

Mile Cross Business Centre is located on Mile Cross Road, Norwich, NR3 2DY and is an asset of Norwich City Council's which up until very recently was used for a variety of different commercial purposes. This included but was not limited to City Works Depot, Copper recycling and wire stripping plant, vehicle repair, maintenance and servicing garage, canteen, radiator servicing, public gym and storage area for various other companies. It was also the location of the Norwich City Councils Property Services Office before being demolished in 2015. Previous commercial uses also include - A sawmill, blacksmiths and paint spraying company. Norwich City Council has started to look into the potential disposal or regeneration of the site, however, due to the continued change in its use over the years Norwich City Council needs absolute confirmation and guarantee that the site is "safe" for regeneration as detailed in Appendix L if either option is taken. Within the last 12 months, Norwich City Council commissioned a geotechnical site investigation / feasibility investigations into the potential disposal of or regeneration of the site. Please see Appendix L for details of the investigation, its findings and recommendations. An intrusive investigation report was commissioned with Harrisons Geotechnical Engineering Ltd. The report highlighted a number of hazardous vapours, contaminated soil, including asbestos from its previous and current uses. It is considered necessary to provide a more detailed investigation. Asbestos containing material throughout the site will need to be identified and clearly itemised by a suitably qualified individual before any potential commercial or residential development can be considered. The full specification is detailed on Appendix J contained in this advertisement.
