Summary of the contracting process

The Mining Remediation Authority procured the design and build of a pumped passive Mine Water Treatment Scheme at Langton, a former colliery site in the Central Section of the South Nottinghamshire Coalfield. The works are intended to protect and enhance the environment by controlling and managing coal mine water, reducing deterioration in water quality and protecting groundwater resources. The requirement is categorised as environmental improvement works, with associated infrastructure works consultancy and environmental engineering consultancy services. Delivery is at Langton, Nottinghamshire. The procurement covers both early contractor involvement and construction, including development of the scope, detailed design, agreement of the construction price and completion of any remaining detailed design.

The procurement has reached completion following a two-stage Early Contractor Involvement mini-competition through the Pagabo Civils and Infrastructure Framework, using the X22 mechanism within an NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract. It was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The evaluation basis was 70% quality and 30% commercial. The contract was awarded to J N Bentley Limited and is recorded as active. The contract value is £186,002.48, and it was signed on 10 July 2026. Three bids were received, all electronically. The procurement record shows the associated lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are active. Stage 2 construction was an available option within the two-stage approach.

This requirement indicates demand from the Mining Remediation Authority for specialist mine-water remediation delivered through integrated design and construction. A credible future competitor would need experience designing and delivering passive water-treatment infrastructure at former mining or contaminated industrial sites, together with environmental engineering capability and an understanding of water-quality and groundwater protection. The work also favours contractors able to engage early, develop scope and detailed design collaboratively, and agree a construction price before progressing into delivery. Familiarity with NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contracts, the X22 Early Contractor Involvement mechanism and framework-based mini-competitions would be relevant. Suppliers should be able to combine design management, construction delivery and environmental improvement expertise for a public-sector client.
