Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales, in collaboration with several national park authorities including Brecon Beacons, Snowdonia, and Pembrokeshire Coast, has finalised the award process for their "UXO Surveying and Risk Mitigation Services" tender. This contract, now at the Award stage as of 3rd September 2024, involves establishing a framework agreement for UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) surveying and risk mitigation services across Wales. RPS Energy and IGNE UXO LIMITED have been selected as the successful suppliers for this open procedure. The contract, valued between £100,000 and £500,000, was signed on 22nd July 2024. This project, classified under the CPV code 71510000 for services, covers various sensitive sites including National Nature Reserves and Sites of Special Scientific Interest.

This framework presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental conservation, UXO detection, and risk mitigation services. SMEs and larger enterprises alike could benefit from potential follow-on contracts linked to multiple habitat conservation and restoration projects throughout Wales. Given the complexity of the terrains involved, businesses adept with advanced surveying techniques like drone technology and magnetometers will find ample scope to apply their expertise. Additionally, firms capable of navigating challenging access points and adhering to environmental considerations will be well-suited to compete in this dynamic procurement sector.

UXO Surveying and Risk Mitigation Services

Notice Description

Establishment of a framework for UXO surveying and risk mitigation services for NRW and its named partners.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The purpose of the requirement is to establish an efficient procurement route for all of NRW business as usual (BAU) work, strategic projects and NRW's partners named within this notice for UXO surveying and risk mitigation services. NRW is lead beneficiary or project partner in multiple habitat conservation and restoration projects several of which contain areas of UXO risk. Services may be required on multiple large scale conservation projects across Wales. Sites could be a range of terrains including but not limited to bogs, sand dunes, marshland and will typically be sensitive sites including National Nature reserves, (NNRs), Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) or Special Areas of Conservation (SACs). Typically conservation work will include ground penetration work including erecting fence lines for managed grazing, installation of dip wells and groundworks. Many sites will be on 3rd party owned land and may have challenging access and other site constraints. A range of techniques will have to be employed in surveying including but not limited to drones, hand held magnetometers, peat probes. Due to the nature of UXO surveying it is difficult for NRW to estimate the value of this framework. For the purposes of establishing this framework we estimate spend in a range of 100,000GBP and 500,000GBP. NRW does not guarantee any level of expenditure under this framework. Participating Organisations are: Natural Resources Wales Brecon Beacons National Park Authority Snowdonia National Park Authority Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority
