UKRI is developing a range of projects across it’s Councils to support HMG delivery of Net Zero by 2050 that may include similar geotechnical advice. As part of the green industrial revolution, BEIS have indicated that UKRI can play a crucial role in providing independent research and analysis (including National Capability Infrastructure where appropriate) supporting geological solutions over the next decade and in particular support the five clusters as they develop.

This PIN is for a Geotechnical Advisor that can support UKRI in early stage development, planning and costing to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of our investments. The successful bidder will provide all necessary resources to fulfil this role as principal advisor but may choose to take the lead role with other ‘specialist’ sub-advisors in order to provide a pre-selected core team for consistency of approach. Additional information: The contract will be on a call-off basis for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years. It is likely the total value of the contract will not exceed £6,000,000. We envisage engaging with interested suppliers to better understand the market during the next couple of months, prior to lunching a formal competition via Contract Notice.
