UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales has completed the contracting process for the Abbey Consols Mine Remediation Project, a service procurement initiative focusing on engineering services within the United Kingdom, particularly in the Welsh region (UKL). The project, aimed at addressing environmental concerns related to mine remediation, was initiated through a direct procurement method without competition, in alignment with legal provisions under the UKPGA 2023/54. The contract was awarded to WSP UK LIMITED on 20th November 2025, with the project running from 1st December 2025 to 1st December 2026. This award is now active and part of the contracting phase, suggesting the fulfilment of necessary conditions to commence work as per the signed agreement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in engineering services, particularly those experienced in environmental remediation projects. Large businesses, such as WSP UK LIMITED, have proven their capability to handle projects of this nature, but the process used for this procurement—below threshold and direct—may limit competitive opportunities for smaller firms. Enterprises providing innovative solutions and possessing expertise in compliance with devolved regulations in Wales are well-positioned to explore future collaborations and projects within this sector, fostering business growth through strategic partnerships with public authorities like Natural Resources Wales.
