## Summary

North Ayrshire Council is preparing to procure the installation of monitoring boreholes at the Shewalton Landfill Site located in Irvine, UK. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the exercise anticipated to be published on the Public Contract Scotland-Tender platform during the week of 16th May 2022. Interested suppliers are encouraged to express their interest by submitting a completed questionnaire before the deadline of 6th May 2022. The project is expected to commence on 20th June 2022 and conclude by 19th August 2022, during which two boreholes will be drilled to a depth of 12m, potentially requiring waste disposal management during the installation.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental works, drilling, or waste management services. Companies that possess the necessary equipment to navigate rough terrains and the capability to handle potentially hazardous waste will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, businesses with experience in similar projects can leverage their expertise to address the specific requirements laid out by North Ayrshire Council, which includes performing site visits prior to bid submission and providing a detailed drilling log upon completion.

## Notice

Introduction North Ayrshire Council ("NAC") are looking to notify the market of this future contract opportunity. The procurement exercise will be carried out via Public Contract Scotland-Tender. It will be published on Public Contract Scotland-Tender week commencing 16th May 2022. NAC welcomes expressions of interest from suppliers, by completing the attached questionnaire and returning to murraythompson@north-ayrshire.gov.uk before close of business 6th May 2022. Scope NAC requires two monitoring boreholes to be installed at Shewalton Landfill Site, 4-6 Metcalfe Place, Shewalton, Irvine KA11 5DF. This is a closed and fully restored landfill site that accepted waste classed as household and commercial at the time of disposal. The anticipated start date is 20th June 2022 until 19th August 2022. During installation waste may be encountered and if so, the bidder will be required to dispose of this at a suitably licenced site. The monitoring boreholes at Shewalton Landfill Site are to be drilled to a depth of 12m. Access to the location of the replacement boreholes is over rough terrain and through a concrete underpass for one of the boreholes at Shewalton Landfill site. It is essential that a site visit takes place prior to submitting a bid. A drilling log and report is to be supplied to NAC specifying depths of liquids and materials encountered. The site is to be left in a tidy condition. If for any reason you are not interested in this procurement, for example, you do not have a bid team available to meet the timescales mentioned above, you do not have the resource / operational staff to deliver the contract during the timescales mentioned above, or if there are issues related to the length of the contract, please advise. If timescales are the main issue, I would be most obliged if you could provide alternative dates for consideration by NAC. Procurement Procedure Taking into account the available budget, it is anticipated that this procurement will be conducted as a Quick Quote.
