## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by The Coal Authority, pertains to the "Provision of a new telemetry system" aimed at replacing the existing Telemetry systems for their Mine Water Treatment Schemes across various coalfield locations in Scotland, the North East, North West, Yorkshire, the Midlands, and Wales. This tender is currently in the Award stage, having been published on 8th July 2019, with submission deadlines having closed on 2nd September 2019. The contract period is set to commence from 3rd February 2020 and will last until 31st March 2027. The procurement was conducted via a selective method under a restricted procedure, indicating it is above the threshold for public sector contracts.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand their operations in the environmental services sector, particularly those specialising in telemetry systems and equipment. Providers of wildlife monitoring technologies, data analysis services, or environmental management systems may find themselves particularly well-suited to participate in this opportunity. As the project covers multiple sites, companies capable of handling large-scale contracts and those with experience in public sector collaborations will likely have a competitive advantage.

## Notice

The Coal Authority (TCA) wishes to appoint a Contractor to provide a replacement Telemetry system for the Mine Water Treatment Schemes (MWTS) it owns and manages. These schemes remove contaminants, such as iron, from water that flows through old mine workings, before discharging the treated water back into the watercourse. Being able to monitor the health and performance of the equipment at these schemes is therefore vital in ensuring the effective running of the schemes and in helping TCA to meet the discharge consents set by the Environment Agency. The Telemetry replacement project will cover 47 Mine Water Treatment Schemes (MWTS) located over 49 separate sites. These sites are located on the Coalfields in Scotland, the North East, the North West, Yorkshire, the Midlands and Wales, with a total of 39 sites in England, 5 sites in Wales, and 5 sites in Scotland. Some of these sites are covered by an existing Telemetry system, which will be replaced by the new system.
