## Description

Kier Transportation require a Subcontractor to undertake Geophysical Survey services\. A geophysical survey is required to determine the bedrock profile and changes in physical properties of the materials to inform piling design in the central reservation\. Boreholes in the area show a large discrepancy of levels over comparatively short distances\. Non-intrusive testing is proposed to determine the rock levels where the physical GI was not undertaken\. We will use the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria \(CAS\) to ensure a consistent minimum business competence\. If your company possesses necessary qualifications and is interested in bidding for this project, please email Transportationprocurement@kier\.co\.uk with your company's portfolio, relevant experience, and references for further evaluation\.
