  • 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.

    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.
