Description

The overall aim of the contract is to provide UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) engineer watching briefs during the execution of the EES soil survey on selected surveys sites, where this has been recommended, as a safety precaution to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory standards. The UXO risk assessments desk studies have been completed for the sites and will be provided. The UXO team's primary role is to monitor operations, identify potential hazards, and respond to any UXO discoveries during the survey. Continuous onsite attendance during soil survey activities in identified UXO risk areas is needed. Natural England's core requirement is to commission 40 UXO engineer watching brief days as required between the contract start date and 28th March 2025, but reserve the right to commission fewer days in the event the scheduled surveys do not take place. Natural England may, by way of a contract variation, commission up to an additional 20 UXO engineer watching brief days if required.
