## Summary

The procurement process titled "Metal (Non-Coal) Mines Delivery Programme Until 2025/26" was initiated by Natural Resources Wales, based in Cardiff, UK. This contract, classified under the services industry, focuses on carrying out feasibility studies and advisory services related to metal mining. The procurement method utilised was a limited tender without prior publication, aimed at extending a partnership with The Coal Authority for collaborative assessment and remedial work at selected metal mines. This engagement is active and has been established in line with the Public Contract Regulations of 2015, with a significant contract value of £21,500,000. Key contacts for queries include Christian Clee and Vernon Lambert, who can be reached via their provided email addresses.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the environmental services and geological consultancy sectors, specifically those with expertise in mining operations, waste management, and water treatment solutions. The collaborative nature of the contract encourages partnerships that can deliver multifaceted projects, addressing ecological impacts and mine restoration efforts. Companies capable of engaging in multidisciplinary frameworks, particularly those compliant with public sector guidelines, are well-suited to compete for the ongoing and future work associated with this programme, thus positioning themselves for growth within a publicly funded initiative aimed at improving water quality and environmental health in Wales.

## Notice

Natural Resources Wales has a Metal Mine Strategy that focuses attention on the impacts on our failing waterbodies where over 700km of river reaches are failing chemically and/or ecologically in accordance with the Water Framework Directive. This contract is to extend the collaborative partnership with the Coal Authority to progress the assessment and remedial work at selected metal mines.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

NRW has a Metal Mine Strategy that focuses attention on the impacts on our failing waterbodies where over 700km of river reaches are failing chemically and/or ecologically in accordance with the Water Framework Directive. Our Metal (Non-Coal) Mine Programme is receiving capital funding from the Welsh Government to progress assessment and remedial work at selected metal mines. The Programme Board receives delivery, technical authority and specialist advice from members including Welsh Government, NRW and the Coal Authority. This Board makes decisions on the work programme progressing each year. NRW's existing technical authority (Geoscience) and specialist resources in-house are insufficient to exploit the full benefits potential in developing further and delivering a programme of this scale and technical nature. In England, similar work is carried out by the Coal Authority through a direct government to government agreement between DEFRA, the Coal Authority and the Environment Agency. In the 2020/21 financial year, NRW implemented a similar arrangement with the Coal Authority for this programme. NRW now wishes to continue the relationship with the Coal Authority for a further five years, until the end of the 2025/26 financial year.

### Procurement Information

This arrangement is in accordance with Regulation 12(7) of the Public Contract Regulations (2015) which allows Natural Resources Wales and the Coal Authority to work collaboratively under a public sector-to-public sector agreement to deliver on a metal (non-coal) mines programme of works for Wales.
