The single provider will need to demonstrate capacity and capability to deliver all the following services anticipated to be required under this contract:

— Geo-environmental site investigation and testing which will require factual reporting, interpretative reporting and risk assessment,
— Investigation of existing highways and structures (incl. but not limited to coring of carriageways and structures),
— Provision of specialist advice and representation (on materials, pavement design and geo-technical/geo-environmental matters).
The value is envisaged to be between GBP 1 000 000 and GBP 2 000 000. This range is based on available historic spend data and the projected volume of work for the Authorities listed in section VI.3.

Historically 75 % of the value of the services required under this Contract has been for materials testing and advisory services. The remaining 25 % of the value has been for site investigation work.
