  • What is a ground investigation tender?

    A ground investigation tender covers site and geotechnical investigation work commissioned before construction, road or infrastructure projects begin. Buyers use it to establish ground conditions, soil composition and contamination risk ahead of design and build.

  • Who buys ground investigation services in the public sector?

    Local councils, National Highways, water companies and other infrastructure bodies commission ground investigation work ahead of road schemes, reservoirs, housing sites and capital projects. Universities and NHS trusts also let this work for building and estate projects.

  • What kind of work is included in a ground investigation contract?

    Ground investigation contracts cover borehole drilling, trial pitting, geotechnical and geo-environmental testing, and reporting on ground conditions. Some also include groundwater and ground gas monitoring or contamination assessment.

  • How are ground investigation contracts procured?

    Ground investigation contracts are let as standalone tenders or as call-offs under civil engineering and construction frameworks. Some are procured as an early phase of a larger infrastructure project before the main works contract is tendered.

  • What CPV codes cover ground investigation tenders?

    Ground investigation notices carry 45111250 (Ground investigation work), 71351500 (Ground investigation services) and 45120000 (Test drilling and boring work).

  • How do I find ground investigation contracts before they are formally tendered?

    Read highway and bridge scheme programmes, reservoir and flood scheme plans, cycle route and active travel programmes and early works partner notices, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
