Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Coal Mining Museum for England is procuring conservation and repair works to a steel gantry conveyor at its museum site at Caphouse Colliery, New Road, Overton, Wakefield. The structure is approximately 100 metres long and dates from around 1970. The work is part of a programme supported by the Public Bodies Infrastructure Fund. This is a specialist building and structural repair project focused on conserving an historic industrial conveyor structure, rather than general mining or museum services. Contractors with relevant experience in steel structures and conservation work are the likely fit.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender set a submission deadline of 23 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with the evaluation period starting on 24 November 2026 at 09:00 UTC. The estimated contract value is £250,000. The contract period is 210 days. There is one lot covering the conveyor repair and conservation work, and variants are not allowed. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Align Property Partners website, in English, and remain valid for 90 days. The procurement states no evaluation criteria or enquiry deadline.

This opportunity suits contractors with demonstrable experience delivering conservation and repair work on steel structures, particularly large, ageing industrial assets. The scale is a single structure around 100 metres long, so bidders need the capability to inspect, plan and execute coordinated works across the conveyor, rather than supply a standalone product. The buyer explicitly seeks an appropriately experienced contractor. Suppliers should be able to undertake repair and conservation in a museum setting and manage work supported through a public infrastructure programme. The tender allows no variant bids, so proposals need to meet the stated requirement for the gantry conveyor. Bidders should also be equipped to deliver the work as one package, with the required English-language electronic submission.
