## Summary

The Norwich City Council has awarded a contract for Geotechnical Site Investigations to Harrison Group Environmental Limited. The procurement, initiated as a tender, fell outside the scope of application of the directive and was carried out as an emergency requirement due to a serious water leak and the appearance of a sinkhole in Norwich. The contract value amounted to £200,000, and the main procurement category was services.

This tender for Geotechnical Site Investigations conducted by Norwich City Council can provide growth opportunities for businesses specializing in geotechnical engineering services, building surveying services, and ground investigation services. Businesses that offer these services and can adapt to emergency requirements efficiently are well-suited to compete in this type of procurement process.

## Notice

Awarded contract compliantly under Reg 32 (2) as Emergency requirement as not possible to vary the supplier's existing contract for adhoc services (ref: NRW/HSC/9852/G) under Regulation 72.

### Procurement Information
