## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council has initiated a tender process for a contract titled "Contract for Civil Engineering – Coring and Testing and/or Laboratory Services." This tender falls under the industry category of technical testing, construction, and consultancy services, with CPV classifications including technical analysis, construction work, and core preparation services. The procurement is in the tender stage, with submissions open until 28th July 2026. The process will employ an open procurement method and is classified as above-threshold, ensuring adherence to stringent legal frameworks. The contract comprises two lots covering multiple areas within the United Kingdom including Richmondshire, Hambleton, Scarborough, Ryedale, Craven, Harrogate, and Selby, with an expected contract period starting from 1st November 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in construction and technical testing services, particularly those with capabilities in drilling, borings, and laboratory analyses.

With a total contract value exceeding £1 million, there is scope for substantial business growth. The award criteria balance quality and price equally, demanding a focus on both competitive pricing and high standards of service delivery. Businesses that have experience providing these services and meeting quality requirements will be well-suited to compete for these lots, ultimately contributing to infrastructure development and maintenance in North Yorkshire.
