Emergency Call Out and Minor Work (ECOMW) Framework 2025

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

• Scotland (East and West)
