Description

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.
