This project falls under the industry category of surface water pollution drainage services and aims to reduce metal pollution from abandoned mines in Wales. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. While this document details the procurement award stage as of 13th April 2026, the contract period is set from 27th April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The primary activities will include the installation of road drainage and modification of channels in Dylife, Wales, with constructions for Phases 1 and 2 expected to commence from April and September 2026, respectively.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in environmental management and civil construction, specifically those specialising in drainage and channel modification services. The project's total value is £1,774,974.79, offering ample scope for business growth for the selected supplier. Particular suitability is indicated for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), highlighting an inclusive opportunity for smaller businesses to engage in a significant environmental initiative funded by the Welsh Government. Companies with expertise in environmentally sustainable solutions would be especially well-suited to take part in this programme, as it aligns with the objectives of enhancing natural resource management and community well-being in Wales.

## Notice

Abandoned metal mines cause significant pollution in Wales, harming river ecology with metals like cadmium, lead, zinc and copper. There are approximately 1,300 abandoned metal mines across Wales that have been estimated to impact over 700 km of rivers. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and the Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) are working together on the Metal Mine Programme to address this polluting legacy. The Programme is funded by Welsh Government. The primary aim of the Programme is, where technically and financially feasible, to reduce pollution from abandoned metal mines to improve the health of our rivers, benefiting the environment, people and the economy. In doing so this will directly contribute to the sustainable management of natural resources in Wales, and enhance community well-being benefits, as detailed in the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 and the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. The Dylife project forms part of a wider programme of works, intended to reduce river pollution and help restore river health downstream of the mine. The works required at the Site are to prevent the mixing of clean water with contaminated ground and water. MRA plans to undertake four phases of works at Dylife; this contract is for the target cost setting and construction of Phases 1 and 2 only. An indication of the programmed construction dates are given in brackets below: * Phase 1 - Installation of road drainage comprising road gullies and carrier drains, adjacent to the public road (planned construction April 2026 onwards). * Phase 2 - Lining of the Nant Dropyns, including channel modification and lining with concrete canvas. Capping of the dressing floor with an impermeable barrier and laying of surface water intercepting drainage (planned construction September 2026 onwards).
