The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an estimated budget of £60,000 for the period from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018.

## Notice

In line with our objectives we will look to appoint a contractor to assist in the extraction of waste ochre from the settlement lagoons on site at Caphouse Colliery, Overton, Near Wakefield, WF4 4RH. The waste must be removed from the settlement lagoons with the minimum level of disruption on site and with the minimum level of impact aesthetically, functionally and environmentally. As the site is part of the National Coal Mining Museum for England visitors and guests may be on site so any solution must bear that in mind.

Any engagement at this stage may determine if one solution is deemed more preferable or high scoring than others however initially we are open to suggestions from suppliers, contractors and interested parties. It would be the intention to conduct any desludge operation at regularly scheduled intervals until any future policy or programme is instituted to replace it. Due to other developments and trials on site Details will be included in the full tender documentation.
