Summary of the contracting process

The Mining Remediation Authority, a central government public authority, is planning a procurement process for a Borehole Framework titled "Drilling and Borehole Construction." This initiative, which belongs to the works category, will be conducted using an open procurement method under a competitive flexible procedure. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a market engagement notice having been published and further engagement activities already completed. The procurement will span multiple regions across the United Kingdom, with proposals expected to be submitted by the end of August 2025. The procurement aims to support the ongoing management of mine water monitoring networks, requiring contractors for tasks like drilling, testing, and managing boreholes, which are crucial for assessing legacy mining risks and environmental impacts.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for companies involved in drilling and borehole services, environmental protection, water treatment, and related consultancy. SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate, given the focus on involving a diverse range of suppliers for maximum value for money. The framework agreement allows for participation in various Lots, catering to different aspects of borehole management, from construction and maintenance to consultancy services. Businesses with experience in onshore drilling, groundwater monitoring, engineering works, and environmental management will find this an advantageous opportunity to expand their operations and contribute to a large-scale government initiative aimed at sustainable resource management and environmental safeguarding. The intention is to launch the tender in Summer 2025, offering substantial scope for growth and innovation within the sector.

Notice Title

Borehole Framework

Notice Description

All details presented here are estimates and subject to change prior to launch. This is an advance notice and not a call to Tender at this time. The Mining Remediation Authorities mine water monitoring network provides insights into legacy mining risks and opportunities, including: Aquifer protection Environmental protection from interactions between mine water and surface or underground water Subsidence risks Mine gas migration Opportunities for mine water heat use Mine water heat licensing and assurance Future emerging opportunities and risks Boreholes form part of our groundwater and mine water monitoring network and are critical in the assessment and management of legacy mining risks. Our monitoring allows us to identify, assess and quantify risks and to develop interventions that protect water resources and the natural environment. As a secondary benefit, we can also monitor the mine water heat at these points and add this to our heat map portfolio for future potential opportunities in this area. Over the coming years the Mining Remediation Authority will drill boreholes across the UK to support the remediation and management of rising and recovered mine water in underground coal workings. Boreholes and pumping tests are required to allow monitoring and mine water control. The activities are time critical to allow mitigations to be implemented before impacts occur, preventing pollution incidents. Our boreholes support: targeting deep underground mine workings the assessment of water levels and chemistry being a key component of our monitoring network filling in knowledge gaps in areas where mineshafts and other monitoring options have been decommissioned or abandoned assessing underground water systems, their behaviours, relationships, and to develop and operate effective management interventions. Borehole testing enhances: our understanding of system characteristics information on the extent of influence the assessment of the likely effectiveness or suitability of proposed management; and the long-term management through abstraction of mine water The Mining Remediation Authority is intending to come to market in Summer 2025 to seek suitably qualified Contractors who can aid in the delivery of our expanding Borehole programme. We have identified the work streams we require and these are represented by the five Lots detailed further in this notice. Our intention being to maximise value for money as well as providing opportunity to as many SME as possible.
