Description

Title: Provision with Geological Products Framework Re-Tender 1. Background The Environment Agency requires the provision of geological products to be used nationally across the Agency for the provision of (a) geological mapping and modelling, (b) interpretation studies and support tasks and (c) research and investigation. 2. Framework Strategy This framework agreement sets out the scope, rates, terms and conditions under which contracts will be formed for individual project assignments. These individual call-off contracts will be scoped and managed by the Environment Agency Project Managers. This framework will aim for contract commencement from November 2022 to November 2024, during which period the contract rates will remain fixed. Subject to Environment Agency internal approvals, framework performance, review of charge rates and the ongoing needs of the Environment Agency, this framework may be extended for two further 12 month periods. The Environment Agency reserves the right to review the framework conditions of contract at each extension date. 3. Requirements The tasks/categories of work to be covered by this framework are: Geological Modelling/Mapping and data Extraction - Review and interpretation of important stratigraphic boreholes using the Contractor's borehole archive and other relevant datasets (some third party) to construct a 3D geology model or 2D map. - Improvements where necessary to current 1:10,000 and 1:50,000 geological mapping. - Production of 3D geological models in Subsurface Viewer for specified areas of investigations - Production of Structure Contour, Isopach, Rockhead elevation maps. Interpretation and Data Delivery - Summarisation of the stratigraphy, facies relationships and structure of the solid geology - Description and delineation of geological/hydrogeological domains - Digital output in ESRI (ArcView/ArcGIS) raster grid format derived from the 3D geology model or 2D map - Production of geological cross-sections - Production of project report providing interpretation and illustration of the 3D geology model or 2D map. Geological Research and Investigation - Geological research/investigation built up upon specialist data, including confidential / restricted data (some third party); to cover every aspect of geological science core to our requirements - Application of geological scientific analysis and its interpretation - Review and interpretation of geological evidence using the Contractor's borehole archive and other relevant datasets (some third party) to understand a particular geological conundrum. - Provision of geological training based upon research / investigation projects - Production of project report providing interpretation of the study
