What is being bought

Published requirement description

The project involves the completion of a new mine water pumping borehole on land north of Brodsworth Country Park in South Yorkshire, following a compliant open tender under the new Procurement Act 2023 regulations.

The key objectives set by the MRA include, maintaining a deviation of less than 2m from the planned location, effectively screening and sealing overlying aquifers, and mitigating risks of mine water pollution. The project also aims to protect and enhance the environment, minimise disruption to local residents and businesses, and ensure safety for the communities served.

Additionally, the project seeks to actively manage risks, deliver best value through competitive procurement, and transfer risks to the most capable parties.

    The Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) are continuously seeking ways to improve our projects. In the past our delivery partners have drilled a piolet hole first using wireline coring system to maintain the verticality.

    A significant risk is the potential for the roadway to differ from expectations, which could lead to missing the intended target. However, this method offers the flexibility to re-drill to an alternative target at minimal additional cost.

    We would greatly value your feedback on this proposed approach or a suitable approach to minimise risk and cost of Drilling BH.
