Summary of the contracting process

The Coal Authority has initiated the Hydrometry Framework, a public procurement process aimed at procuring hydrometric monitoring services to be applied at coal and metal mine sites across the UK. The procurement falls under the "services" category and is governed by an open procedure. The framework has been divided into six lots covering various aspects of hydrometric services, including options assessment, weirs and flumes, loggers and sensors, spot flow gauging and sampling, flow meter verification, and a general lot for combined services. The framework will run for a period of four years starting from April 2024, with the tender stage currently active and submissions due by 20 February 2024. The estimated total value of the framework is £9.5 million.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in hydrometeorology services to secure long-term contracts with a reputable public authority. Suitable candidates include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as larger firms capable of regional or national service provision. Companies involved in the installation, maintenance, and verification of hydrometric equipment, such as water level sensors, rain gauges, and flow meters, will find the framework to be highly conducive to business growth. With the potential for multiple lot awards and a substantial framework value, participating entities have the chance to establish robust partnerships and enhance their market presence in the UK’s environmental protection and hydrometric sectors.
