UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Oil and Pipelines Agency intends to procure services to restore the Plumley–COGH site after completion of oil extraction. The work is categorised as real estate services and concerns site restoration rather than ongoing oil production. The procurement is being led by the Oil and Pipelines Agency, a central government public authority. Delivery is associated with the Plumley–COGH location identified in the procurement. This may suit businesses providing land, property and industrial site restoration services, particularly those able to plan and deliver the reinstatement of a site after extraction activity. Suppliers should assess whether their experience covers the practical restoration of an oil-related site and the associated land and property requirements.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. The buyer expects to use an open procedure under the defence and security regime. It is above the relevant threshold. The estimated value is £2,000,000 excluding VAT, or £2,400,000 including VAT. The procurement has one planned lot. The anticipated contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 31 December 2027. The buyer expects the next notice to be published by 30 September 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a deadline for suppliers. Businesses should use the planning period to prepare for the later competition and monitor the procurement's progression.

The procurement is likely to suit contractors with experience in restoring sites following oil extraction, including businesses combining land and property services with practical industrial-site reinstatement. Relevant preparation may include reviewing experience of comparable restoration projects, the ability to manage work at a former extraction location, and the capacity to deliver the required services across the planned contract period. The defence and security regime means suppliers should be ready to understand and comply with the buyer's security-related procurement requirements when the competition is issued. Firms without direct oil-extraction restoration experience may need to consider whether their existing site-restoration capability is sufficiently relevant, or whether a specialist partner would strengthen a future tender response.
