In plain English
The University of Sheffield needs a ground investigation survey on land called Runway Park in Sheffield. The site is former opencast mining land with mixed surfaces (concrete, grass, and made ground). They want specialists to assess the ground conditions before development.
What the buyer wants
• Conduct ground investigation works including site surveys, soil testing, and subsurface assessment • Produce a full technical report on ground conditions, stability, and any risks from former mining/airport use • Follow the detailed specification provided in the tender documents (you'll need to request these)
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This contract requires specialist geotechnical/ground investigation expertise, a general contractor or small local builder without specific ground survey qualifications and mining-site experience would almost certainly not be short-listed.
Always check the tender documents.
