    Brief

    This is a contract details notice, not a call for competition. UK Research & Innovation has completed a limited competition procurement exercise to source building trial pits. Building trial pits are excavations made in the ground at construction sites to investigate soil conditions, groundwater levels, and subsurface characteristics. Suppliers selected through this limited competition process will provide these essential geotechnical investigation services to support UK Research & Innovation's infrastructure and research projects. This notice documents the procurement outcome rather than soliciting new bids.
