The buyer is The Coal Authority, and the contracting authority is Severn Trent Services Operations UK Limited. The procurement method used was a selective restricted procedure, with a total contract value of £40,000,000 in the services category. The contract period is from 1st January 2015 to 30th June 2026. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in wastewater-plant repair and maintenance work. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase. Businesses with the capability to provide services in the regions of North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, Scotland, and Wales are suited to compete. The opportunity arises due to the extension of an existing contract necessitated by unforeseen challenges, with market engagement sessions scheduled for the week commencing 29th January 2024 to inform potential suppliers of the procurement timeline. ## Notice This notice is being published by way of a modification to an existing contract tendered on the OJEU portal in 2014 under the reference 2015/S 034-058548 We are intending to extend the current contract for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of mine water treatment schemes (MWTS) and associated legacy assets which was set to expire on 31 December 2024, for an additional 18 month period. The extension provides for the provision of the same services for this additional duration. During this extension period an open market procurement exercise will be undertaken for a new contract which will commence delivery of the services in June 2026 after a six month mobilisation period starting in January 2026. Immediately on publication of this contract modification notice a Prior Information Notice (PIN) will be published on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender Service to inform the market of the timetable for the procurement of the replacement contract which includes further market engagement sessions on week commencing 29 January 2024. The need for modification was brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee. The need for this additional term of the contract has occurred because of unforeseen challenges, necessitating an adjustment to our original timeline. These challenges have included; A severe, unprecedented incident in Wales which saw 78 properties flooded by mine water required the focus of internal resources. This required a coordinated effort between the Coal Authority, Welsh Government, Natural Resources Wales, Local Council and contractors including the incumbent contractor. A temporary reporting structure was put in place to prioritise the solution to the water flow and impact on residents. The incident required many of the same resources as the contract renewal and has taken 14 months to complete due to the complexity of the project. Other unforeseen incidents requiring senior leadership focus to remedy and therefore re-prioritisation and focus on MWTS performance and projects also impacted resource capacity during this time. The capacity of the Coal Authority, a relatively small organisation, had been effected by the impacts of Covid-19, with increased employee sickness, changes in working hours, adapting to hybrid working from multiple locations with an impact on workload and capacity of delivery. The recovery from Covid-19 has also resulted in a challenging recruitment market. A number of resources were identified that were required to deliver different aspects of the contract renewal project and to provide governance. Immediately on publication of this notice a Prior Information Notice (PIN) will be published on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender Service to inform the market of the timetable for the procurement of the replacement contract which includes further market engagement sessions on week commencing 29 January 2024 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/482508bf-4fe5-4867-9ce7-17db6a8418d8 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 30 Apr 2014 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Nov 2014 | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2015 - 30 Jun 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £40,000,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE COAL AUTHORITY | | Locality | MANSFIELD | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG18 4RG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF15 North Nottinghamshire | | Local authority | Mansfield | | Electoral ward | Berry Hill | | Westminster constituency | Mansfield | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLL Wales, TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SEVERN TRENT SERVICES OPERATIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45259100 - Wastewater-plant repair and maintenance work ## Release History - 21 Dec 2023 at 11:38 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/482508bf-4fe5-4867-9ce7-17db6a8418d8 - 19 Dec 2023 at 13:57 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/482508bf-4fe5-4867-9ce7-17db6a8418d8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/482508bf-4fe5-4867-9ce7-17db6a8418d8 21st December 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
