## Summary

Natural England is procuring conservation and consolidation work for Hisehope Groove Mine. The requirement covers producing a conservation and consolidation plan, defining the scope and specification of the physical works, identifying potential contractors, evaluating quotations, selecting a preferred contractor and overseeing delivery. The procurement is categorised as building construction work (CPV 45210000), with the main focus on works rather than a standalone consultancy assignment. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with participation reserved to organisations located in the UK. Natural England, a central government public authority, is the buyer. The opportunity may suit a contractor able to combine heritage or mine conservation planning with practical building and structural consolidation expertise, or a lead organisation able to manage specialist delivery partners.

The process reached tender: Natural England invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. There is one lot, and the contract was set to run from 2 October 2026 to 8 January 2027. The estimated value is £8,333 excluding VAT and £10,000 including VAT. Suppliers were required to submit a quotation meeting the Request for Quotation requirements, with responses sent by email by 17:00 on 18 September 2026. Clarification questions were also submitted by email, with questions and responses potentially circulated to all tenderers unless commercially sensitive. Electronic submission was marked as not allowed. The award basis is set out in full in the RFQ. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits suppliers with experience in conserving, stabilising or consolidating historic mines, buildings or other vulnerable structures. Relevant capability includes surveying or assessing the condition of a heritage asset, preparing a practical conservation and consolidation plan, specifying remedial works and identifying suitable delivery contractors. Strong candidates will be able to turn technical findings into a clear scope of work, manage quotation or tender evaluation, recommend a preferred contractor and oversee delivery through to completion. The requirement also favours organisations able to coordinate conservation, construction and project-management skills, whether in-house or through trusted specialist partners. Contractors should be comfortable working for a public-sector client, producing well-structured technical and commercial responses, and managing delivery in line with an agreed specification.
