Emergency Call Out and Minor Work (ECOMW) Framework 2025

Procurement reference

CA18/05819

Procurement description

The Emergency Call Out and Minor Work (ECOMW) Framework 2025 covers emergency response and minor civil engineering works across multiple regions. It is structured under NEC4 ECSC , and supports flexible call-off arrangements for urgent and planned interventions.

(a) Emergency Call-Out (ECO): This involves the immediate response to public safety incidents, such as mine shaft collapses or ground subsidence, requiring on-site attendance within 4 hours to secure and make the area safe.

(b) Minor Works and Subsidence Repairs: These are planned follow-up works to investigate, repair, and restore areas affected by mining hazards, including structural repairs, ground stabilisation, and reinstatement of land or property.

Upon notification of an incident, hazard, or damage report by a stakeholder, the Authority will assess and categorize the issue as either:

• An Emergency Call-Out, or

• Minor Works and Subsidence Repairs

The available regions are:

• Scotland (East and West)

• Northumberland, Durham, and Cumbria

• North Wales, Cheshire, Lancashire, North, South, and West Yorkshire

• Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire, Shropshire, West Midlands, Warwickshire, Herefordshire, and Worcestershire

• Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Bristol, South Wales, Pembrokeshire, and North Gloucestershire (Forest of Dean)

Procurement Process:

• Quality criteria total 100% (Quality, Social Value, Sustainability, Fraud & Safeguarding).

• Price evaluated via PPQP

Framework operation description

The Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) will established a non‑exclusive, multi‑supplier framework for the delivery of Emergency Call‑Out Services, Minor Works and Subsidence Repairs across defined UK regions. Inclusion on the framework does not guarantee any volume of work.

Work Orders will be issued on an as‑needed basis and will each form a separate call‑off contract under the Procurement Act 2023, governed by the relevant NEC4 contract form, typically the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Short Contract.

Pricing for Work Orders will be based on pre‑agreed Framework Schedules of Rates submitted for each region, including labour, plant, materials, and any applicable emergency or out‑of‑area rates. Where appropriate, works may be priced using direct application of rates, cost estimates, or quotations following a mini‑competition. The Authority reserves the right to validate costs to ensure value for money.

Work Orders will be allocated transparently and proportionately. Emergency Call‑Out work will normally be awarded following a regional availability check to Contractors able to meet response requirements, with best value for money applied where multiple Contractors are available. Where no regional Contractor is available, work may be allocated cross‑region. Minor Works may be awarded directly or via a mini‑competition, depending on value, complexity and risk.
