Original Tender Description

Background The Mining Remediation Authority has identified a gap in mine water level data within the Central Durham South block, particularly in the area linking to the Central Durham North block. Detailed studies carried out in 2020 and 2022 confirmed hydraulic connectivity between the Central Durham South, Central Durham North, and Lumley mine water blocks. Rising mine water levels present a potential environmental risk and require proactive management through effective pumping strategies and continuous monitoring. Currently, the north/northeast section of Central Durham South-especially around Chester-Le-Street-lacks adequate monitoring infrastructure. This data gap restricts our ability to make informed decisions on pumping operations and long-term water management strategies. To address this, the Mining Remediation Authority proposes constructing a single monitoring borehole at Pelton Colliery. This borehole will intersect flooded underground workings and deliver real-time data to support effective management.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for a mine water monitoring borehole is generally well-structured with clear objectives and a disclosed budget. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on the submission process, impacting its overall practicality and legal compliance.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender includes a CPV code and a clear description of the required work. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and a missing reveal date are potential compliance issues. The deadline, while specified, might be considered short given the nature of the work.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity80/100

The description of the project's background, objectives, and the specific need for the monitoring borehole is clear and well-articulated. The technical requirements are also reasonably defined, outlining the expected outcome of the borehole construction.

Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. However, the lack of content for the tender documents and the absence of detailed submission instructions reduce its completeness.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender appears fair, with the estimated value disclosed and objective technical requirements. The CPV code is appropriate for the described work. There are no obvious signs of tailoring requirements to specific companies.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract duration and start date, and the estimated value is clear. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission and the URL for documents makes the submission process less practical. The deadline might also be challenging for potential bidders.

No e-submission specified
Document URL not provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and dates are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions, and the dates provided are logically ordered.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which limits its sustainability score.
