Notice Title

Mine Closure & Operational Mine Management Request for Information

Notice Description

The Coal Authority are looking for companies who can provide Mine Management services. If you are interested in this requirement, please fill out the attached registration of interest form and return back to helenbaldwin@coal.gov.uk in the procurement team by Monday 8 August 2022. Introduction - With the increasing need to manage the closure and permanent sealing of both 'shaft' and 'adit' mines, we require suitably experienced and qualified mine management personnel to supervise and manage operational works under The Mines Regulations 2014, including the role of Mine Operator. This may also involve installing/repairing drainage schemes within legacy coal mines and potentially other mineral mines that necessitates entry into the mine. Background - This may require design of and/or management of operations to undertake 'mine closure and sealing' works either directly or to supervise our framework contractors undertaking construction works. We seek expressions of interest to provide qualified personnel with experience of managing mining, mechanical and electrical mining systems and the ability to safely assess and manage operations under The Mining Regulations 2014 and other associated and aligned safety legislation e.g. Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. Objectives; We are proposing to create a procurement framework of technical professionals who have the necessary mining, mechanical, electrical and other relevant skills, knowledge and experience to undertake the role of Mine Operator for works that include the permanent sealing of shafts/adits. This may also include the repair and/or replacement of internal mine infrastructure e.g. support systems and installation of drainage and associated monitoring. These requirements may arise following a mine going into liquidation, so the ability to inspect and assess mining risks and safety status of 'operationally active' mines or closed mines under 'care and maintenance regimes' as well as abandoned mines is key to this opportunity. This potentially requires access to or support from qualified and experienced mining personnel, including: Mining engineers, mining mechanical and electrical engineers, mine surveyors, mining ventilation engineers, mine gas specialists, mine water hydrogeologists e.g. who are able to assess inrush risk and precautionary schemes.
