## Summary

Bolsover District Council procured intrusive structural and geotechnical site investigations at Pleasley Vale Mills, including boreholes, trial pits and trenches, structural coring of culvert walls and foundations, geotechnical and laboratory testing, and groundwater monitoring. The work supports assessment and design of repairs to the mill buildings, culverts and associated infrastructure. It also includes removing silt from the upper end of culvert one using a high-pressure jetting hose and hydraulic pumps. The requirement covers excavation and structural works, with investigations and factual structural and ground investigation reports forming part of the deliverables. The work is at Pleasley Vale Mills in Derbyshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to P&D Environmental Ltd. Bolsover District Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is recorded as one lot, which was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published award value is £24,000 including VAT. The award date was 26 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 15 October 2027. The procurement concerns works, evaluated through a non-competitive route rather than a comparison of competing bids. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The process records the award as pending, alongside its completed tender status.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s requirement when it next comes to market, relevant capability spans intrusive ground investigation and structural investigation at an existing mill and its associated culverts and infrastructure. A credible provider would need to deliver boreholes, trial pits and trenches, structural coring of culvert walls and foundations, geotechnical and laboratory testing, and groundwater monitoring, then produce factual investigation reports that support repair assessment and design. The requirement also includes practical culvert maintenance: silt removal using high-pressure jetting equipment and hydraulic pumps. It therefore suits a contractor able to combine investigation and reporting with specialist excavation and culvert work, and to coordinate these activities across the site. The completed award shows that a small or medium-sized supplier was selected through a direct, non-competitive route.
