This undertaking was aimed at performing a three-month pumping test and subsequent temporary treatment of mine water at the West Cannock coalfield. The project, categorized under the construction and water treatment industry, was originally planned with procurement stages spanning from planning to tender and award, with deadlines extending from July 2025 to June 2026. However, due to additional constraints identified post-tender closure, including new environmental consents and treatment requirements, the Authority decided to formally cancel the current tender process as of February 2026, referencing the aforementioned limitations. This tender provided an opportunity for businesses specializing in water treatment and environmental engineering, particularly those with experience in managing complex chemical parameters such as zinc, iron, suspended solids, and potentially hazardous elements like ammoniacal nitrogen, nickel, and manganese. The open procurement method allowed a wide range of businesses to compete, with an emphasis on those small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) capable of meeting rigorous environmental compliance standards. Given the announcement of potential issuance of a revised tender expected live by March, businesses adept in innovative water management and sustainable treatment processes will have the chance to position themselves strategically in anticipation of further tender developments. ## Notice The Authority invites you to tender for a contract for the provision to undertake a 3-month pumping test with a discharge of up to 10 litres per second from our existing borehole at our West Cannock coalfield. The mine water will require temporary treatment to remove, primarily zinc, iron and suspended solids, and achieve compliance with environmental permit. Then, the discharge of the mine water into the local watercourse from the treatment plant using a combination of overland pipes and an abandoned culvert. The process will be managed through the Authority's e-Tendering portal, which provides a secure delivery mechanism and an auditable record of the process. There is no cost associated to using the e-Tendering portal and merely requires a short registration process. As part of the Procurement Act 2023 there is a requirement for Contractors to provide Contractor information on the Central Digital Platform. This Contractors information will be required for a Contractors to submit a compliant tender as part of the process for this opportunity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013553-2026 | | Notice type | UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 17 Oct 2025 | | Future notice date | 30 May 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Jan 2026 - 26 Jun 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,200,000 | | Lots value | £1,200,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Cancelled | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINING REMEDIATION AUTHORITY | | Additional buyers | Missing | | Locality | NOTTINGHAMSHIRE | | 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 | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45232152 - Pumping station construction work - 45232430 - Water-treatment work - 45252124 - Dredging and pumping works ## Release History - 13 Feb 2026 at 15:43 - TenderCancellation - UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013553-2026 - 5 Sep 2025 at 14:17 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/054368-2025 - 5 Sep 2025 at 14:14 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/054364-2025 - 5 Mar 2025 at 11:43 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008015-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013553-2026 13th February 2026 - Procurement termination notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/054368-2025 5th September 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/054364-2025 5th September 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008015-2025 5th March 2025 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://Inbye.coal.gov.uk/s2c/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
