Hydrometry Framework
The Coal Authority (TCA) was established by Parliament to undertake specific statutory duties, set out in the Coal Industry Act 1994, associated with licensing coal mining operations; managing property and the historic legacy arising from the ownership of the coal reserves and underground workings; settling subsidence damage claims and providing access to coal mining information.
The Authority is funded by Grant-in-Aid from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). The Authority takes pride in its achievements, quality and motivation of staff, and is focused on delivering its high level objectives sustainably.

This is a non-exclusive framework agreement, and the Coal Authority is unable to guarantee the volume and value of allocated work.
Tenderers may submit a bid for single, multiple or all Lot(s).
We may also split some of the Lots regionally, so suppliers do not have to necessarily be able to cover the whole of the UK.
The estimated framework value, over a 4 year period, is £9.5m.
Coal Authority tenders are now being undertaken by the Authority's eTender portal InBye, details of how to register are attached to this notice.
