## Summary

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, alongside Torfaen County Borough Council, is entering the planning phase for a five-year Term Service Contract focusing on the maintenance of coal spoil tips in Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen. This project aims to maintain and remediate former colliery sites, with key activities including earthworks, drainage, and other ancillary works. The procurement process is being conducted under an open procedure, with a total contract value of £12 million GBP. Prospective suppliers should note that a future notice is expected by 1st July 2026, and the contract period will run from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2031. The regions covered by this contract fall under the UKL16 postal code area, with the work pertaining to the field of engineering services and civil engineering work.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in civil engineering, environmental engineering, and drainage systems to enhance their growth, especially firms capable of managing coal-tip areas and conducting remediation work. The project encourages participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), promoting a fair competition landscape. Given the scope of work—spanning across both permanent and temporary structures—firms with a comprehensive portfolio in managing sizable infrastructure projects and adaptive planning and execution skills will likely find this tender particularly advantageous. Businesses with expertise in planning, co-ordination, and executing buildability aspects will be well-suited to compete for this opportunity.

## Notice

The Authorities wish to enter a five (5) year contract for the provision of permanent and temporary works which comprise the maintenance of former colliery sites including former colliery surface operational areas, spoil tips and spoil tips previously subject to reclamation within the geographical boundaries of Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen. The works consist of earthworks, drainage and other ancillary works as remedial measures e.g. works involving cleansing of existing watercourses and re-lining or the construction of new. The Contractor will be required to assist the Council's in the planning stages (co-ordination and programming) as well as offering expertise in respect of buildability and preferred treatments. It is proposed to carry out a prescribed programme of maintenance works during Summer months and to also undertake ad-hoc remedial measures following severe periods of weather.
