Provision of Geological Products Framework

The re-tender of a framework for 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.

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 Additional information: Resources

The Contractor’s staff involved in the Task shall be detailed (including any subcontractors, associates, etc.) to produce a team to complete the work on time and to the necessary high standards. The role and responsibilities of each member of staff must be clearly indicated. CVs for each staff member shall be attached as an appendix to the proposal with experience relevant to this sub
