WAMM is being delivered by a partnership between the Mining Remediation Authority, the Environment Agency and Defra. The former Sharnberry mines are located in County Durham at the far eastern edge of the North Pennines Orefield, in the Pennines Moors. The mines pollute rivers in the Wear catchment, specifically the Euden Beck and downstream Bedburn Beck. The Environment Agency carried out a detailed monitoring programme to measure the metal concentrations and river flows at various points across the catchment. This monitoring indicated that the Sharnberry adit is the most significant source of zinc and cadmium pollution and also contributes to lead pollution. The Environment Agency have advised that a Mine Water Treatment Scheme (MWTS) is required that will require a permanent power connection. In February 2025, it was agreed to progress with Phase 1 of the grid connection, which is from Eggleston Crest to the boundary of the Eggleston Estate access track. This contract is for non-contestable works of the phase 2 grid extension, which is for Northern Powergrid to: - Upgrade the existing two-conductor system to Three-Phase, which involves rebuilding the line. - Carrying out 1x HV closing joint - Undertaking all Senior Authorised Person work associated with all connections to the Distribution System ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 51110000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (2) - **Award:** Sharnberry MWTS - Power Connection - Phase 2 Non-Contestable Works (active) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **Northern Powergrid (Northeast) PLC** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-COH:02906593` - Value: £435,072 - **Award:** 2 (active) - Supplier(s): **Northern Powergrid (Northeast) PLC** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-COH:02906593` ## Contracts (2) - **Contract:** Sharnberry MWTS - Power Connection - Phase 2 Non-Contestable Works (active) - Signed Value: £435,072 - Signed Date: 17/02/2026 - **Contract:** Only one contract awarded (active) - Signed Value: £0 - Signed Date: 17/02/2026 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F028354-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-03-27T10:26:46.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-15T00:35:18.226Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-0615cf
