This Framework was established to provide Wireline Geophysical logging services to the Mining Remediation Authority. There is no change to the nature or value of the framework.
Due to unexpected delays in the selection of sites which require Geologging surveys this framework has only discharged half of the value which was originally expected. We are extending this framework for 1 year and 11 months to bring the total duration to 3 years and 11 months.

- Change This Framework contract is being extended due to delays in processing the sites which require Geologging., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: Processing the data for the allocation of Geologging services to Boreholes and Mine shafts has taken longer than expected. This is due to a lack of available data in places, property access issues and other unforseen reasons.
