This project, in the North East region of the United Kingdom, falls under the industry category of "Test drilling and boring work" (CPV: 45120000). The award was finalised on 17th June 2024, and the contract is set to be executed from 31st August 2024 to 31st December 2024. The open procurement procedure, valued at £850,000, was specifically designed to accommodate SMEs. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental engineering, drilling services, and water monitoring to expand their portfolios and gain visibility. With a focus on SMEs, the project is ideal for small to medium-sized enterprises aiming to showcase their expertise in handling complex drilling and environmental monitoring tasks. The Coal Authority, responsible for this procurement, is particularly interested in companies that can efficiently manage the intersection of flooded underground workings, ensuring the safety of drinking water aquifers in the region. ## Notice The Coal Authority invites you to tender for the drilling of a mine water monitoring borehole(s) to assess rising mine water on the surrounding environment at sites at Thornley and Deaf Hill. A review of the mine water block by the Coal Authority in 2020 highlighted the potential for elevated mine water levels at Thornely & Deaf Hill sites. Elevated mine water levels could pose a risk to the drinking water aquifers that overlie the mine workings. Therefore, the Coal Authority intend to construct a borehole to intersect flooded underground workings. The borehole is to allow monitoring of mine water levels that are thought to be representative of the area. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7adf8955-cea4-4d0d-acbf-080208a892ed | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | 17 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Jun 2024 | | Contract period | 30 Aug 2024 - 31 Dec 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £661,980 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £661,980 | | 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) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SOIL ENGINEERING GEOSERVICES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45120000 - Test drilling and boring work ## Release History - 20 Aug 2024 at 13:49 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7adf8955-cea4-4d0d-acbf-080208a892ed - 19 Aug 2024 at 12:07 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7adf8955-cea4-4d0d-acbf-080208a892ed - 14 Aug 2024 at 07:40 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7adf8955-cea4-4d0d-acbf-080208a892ed - 14 Aug 2024 at 07:38 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7adf8955-cea4-4d0d-acbf-080208a892ed - 11 Aug 2023 at 13:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3363d5b5-d410-4b45-a6f2-f21471b45936 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7adf8955-cea4-4d0d-acbf-080208a892ed 20th August 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3363d5b5-d410-4b45-a6f2-f21471b45936 11th August 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7f2dac3b-8d0e-4d49-91bc-ff54066524b5 Instructions on how to login and create a new account on Inbye portal.
