The tendering stage is currently active, with submissions due by 22 March 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 23 March 2017 and conclude by 9 June 2017. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing any interested suppliers to participate. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in geotechnical and construction services, particularly those equipped to conduct mining ground investigations and assess geotechnical properties.

The purpose of this preliminary mining ground investigation is to provide initial information relating to the possible presence of underground mine-workings which may influence the design of the proposed scheme. Specific objectives are to: * Identify the thickness and type of superficial deposits overlying rockhead; * Establish the elevations and condition of coal seams, seat-earths and/or mineworkings at specific key asset locations within the site; * Establish geotechnical properties of the rock sequence; * Establish groundwater conditions within the rock sequence. The factual report produced by this investigation will form part of a tender package to a design and build Contractor.
