## Summary

National Highways Limited commissioned ground investigation works for the M62 Heathfield Landslip scheme in the North West of England. The work covers intrusive ground investigation, associated testing, monitoring and reporting. Its purpose is to establish ground conditions and inform the development of remediation works for the landslip. This is a construction and specialist civil engineering requirement, classified as ground investigation work (CPV 45111250). The delivery area is identified as the North West, while the scheme relates specifically to the M62 Heathfield Landslip. Suppliers would need to operate across site investigation and ground engineering activities, supporting highway infrastructure projects and producing reliable technical information for the design and development of landslip remediation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. National Highways Limited awarded the contract to VAN ELLE LIMITED on 4 September 2026. The awarded value is £359,871.76 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, with the procurement categorised as works. The tender was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The outcome is an active award for the full ground investigation requirement, covering the intrusive investigation, testing, monitoring and reporting needed for the M62 Heathfield Landslip scheme.

This award demonstrates demand from National Highways for specialist ground investigation supporting major-road landslip remediation. A credible future competitor would need capability in intrusive investigation, site testing, ground and slope-condition assessment, monitoring and clear technical reporting that can inform remediation design. Experience of working safely and reliably in highway environments would be important, as would the capacity to coordinate fieldwork, laboratory or associated testing, ongoing monitoring and engineering outputs as one service. The framework call-off route shows that suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer need an appropriate framework position and the ability to respond to defined requirements under it. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, so capable specialist firms with relevant highway and ground engineering experience can be commercially well placed when comparable requirements return.
