## Summary

The Coal Authority is currently conducting a tender process for the project titled "Bilston Glen - Provision of Temporary Mine Water Treatment Scheme," which aims to address mine water discharge affecting the River South Esk. This procurement falls under the works category, specifically involving sludge treatment and water treatment plant construction. The tender is open until 3rd August 2020, with the subsequent contract period commencing on 28th September 2020 and expected to last until 8th June 2021. The location for this project is Scotland, and the procurement method adopted is an open procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in environmental infrastructure and water treatment solutions, particularly those with experience in HDS technology or similar practices relevant to coal mine waters. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find this project particularly suitable, as the contracting authority encourages participation from smaller businesses. Engaging in this process could enhance their portfolio and foster growth in the environmental improvement sector.

## Notice

The services being provided under this contract are the provision of the infrastructure to capture and transfer flows from the adit to a temporary treatment scheme, designed to be suitable for the onward transfer of water to a permanent location and the design, supply and installation for a temporary mine water treatment system. Coal mine water is currently discharging into the River South Esk from the Old Fordell Adit. Groundwater levels have been rising in the area since mining ceased in 1989 and The Coal Authority (TCA) has been monitoring this discharge for a number of years. Recently, the water quality of this discharge has deteriorated and is now impacting the River South Esk. It is anticipated that a temporary plant will utilise HDS technology , however other technologies may be considered where it can be demonstrated that they have suitable reference experience on coal mine waters and can be deployed within acceptable timescales. Successful tenderers will enter into a contract in accordance with the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract and additional conditions of contract.
