UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mining Remediation Authority is planning a replacement framework for ground stabilisation and remediation works by drilling and grouting. The scope is expected to include drilling, pressure grouting, void filling, stabilising mine workings and associated ground investigation and geotechnical services. Work would be delivered across England, Scotland and Wales. This is a works procurement covering ground investigation, test drilling and boring, grouting, and geotechnical engineering. The framework is intended to support remediation activities carried out by or for the Mining Remediation Authority across a wide geographical area. It is a single planned lot and is intended to be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement is at the preliminary market engagement and planning stage; it is not a call for competition or an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use a framework agreement, with a future notice currently expected on 1 February 2027. The planned framework contract period is 1 March 2028 to 29 February 2032. The buyer is seeking supplier feedback to help shape the procurement strategy, framework structure, specification and commercial arrangements. A voluntary supplier questionnaire is planned, with responses requested by 10:00am on 4 September 2026 through the InBye portal. The procurement is above the applicable threshold. No contract value or budget is stated, and evaluation arrangements have not yet been settled.

This will suit contractors and specialist service providers with experience in ground stabilisation, drilling, pressure grouting, void filling, mine-working remediation, ground investigation or related geotechnical engineering. Firms able to mobilise and deliver work across England, Scotland and Wales may be well placed for the eventual framework. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller organisations may be able to participate, either directly or through appropriate delivery arrangements. Suppliers can prepare by reviewing their relevant technical capability, regional coverage, capacity for specialist drilling and grouting operations, and experience of comparable remediation or investigation projects. Market engagement responses will help influence the future framework design, but participation does not provide an advantage in the later procurement.
