Coverage: 11 active published awards; 11 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
In 2017, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy approved funding for the development of two
subsurface scientific research facilities, to be delivered by the British Geological Survey for the Natural Environment
Research Council (NERC). These first-of-their-kind research facilities will generate knowledge that will contribute to
the responsible development of new low-carbon energy technologies both in the UK and internationally. One site in
Glasgow is complete and construction of the Cheshire site is yet to commence and is the subject of this procurement
activity. This PIN is for the Principal Contractor who will construct the UKGEOS Cheshire Observatory. The
observatory is a research field site comprising a novel, highly instrumented borehole array, which will be used to
undertake research into thermal storage and other related topics. This opportunity gives the Principal Contractor the
opportunity to contribute to a highly unique and specialised project.

Published by the contracting authority
- Lot 1 · #1Individual lot title not publishedcancelledPublished valueNot publishedDesign includes 20 boreholes at 100 m depth, fitted with state-of-the-art down-hole scientific instrumentation including thermal loops, fibre optic cable, electrical resistivity sensors and groundwater sampling/pumping installations. Civil works include thermal infrastructure, ducts, headworks, fencing, cabinets, local utility connections and a welfare/data centre cabin, as well as temporary works. The quality of the science to be undertaken is highly dependent on the data obtained during drilling and the quality of the final installation. Quality, workmanship and an endeavour to install the site with the upmost attention is required.Contract periodNot publishedEligibilityNot publishedOptions / renewalNot published
