UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mining Remediation Authority, a central government public authority located in Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom, initiated a tender for the West Cannock Pumping Test and Treatment project. This undertaking was aimed at performing a three-month pumping test and subsequent temporary treatment of mine water at the West Cannock coalfield. The project, categorized under the construction and water treatment industry, was originally planned with procurement stages spanning from planning to tender and award, with deadlines extending from July 2025 to June 2026. However, due to additional constraints identified post-tender closure, including new environmental consents and treatment requirements, the Authority decided to formally cancel the current tender process as of February 2026, referencing the aforementioned limitations.

This tender provided an opportunity for businesses specializing in water treatment and environmental engineering, particularly those with experience in managing complex chemical parameters such as zinc, iron, suspended solids, and potentially hazardous elements like ammoniacal nitrogen, nickel, and manganese. The open procurement method allowed a wide range of businesses to compete, with an emphasis on those small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) capable of meeting rigorous environmental compliance standards. Given the announcement of potential issuance of a revised tender expected live by March, businesses adept in innovative water management and sustainable treatment processes will have the chance to position themselves strategically in anticipation of further tender developments.
