Summary of the contracting process

Eiffage Kier JV HS2 Main Civils Works, Lots C2 & C3 is seeking a specialist subcontractor for the blockwork package at the Wendover Green Tunnel Portal Buildings, within the North Chilterns to Aylesbury section of HS2. The works are construction works covering external masonry walls and internal masonry partition walls. The package includes concrete blockwork on external perimeter walls over a concrete upstand, partitions founded on the structural slab, sand and cement skirting, masonry ties, stainless steel bed-joint reinforcement, movement joints, padstones, concrete lintels and wall-head fire-stopping systems. The work is associated with delivery areas in London, the East Midlands, the South East and the East of England.

This procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers for the works through a competitive subcontracting opportunity. The estimated value is between £500,000 and £1,000,000, in GBP. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 23 September 2026 at 17:00. The intended contract period runs from 1 August 2027 to 31 January 2028. The requirement is presented as a single blockwork package rather than separate lots. The procurement covers bricklaying, facing brickwork, masonry and related construction work. Suppliers should assess the detailed tender requirements and submit their offer in accordance with the buyer’s stated process.

This opportunity suits a specialist masonry or brickwork subcontractor able to deliver a substantial, self-contained package on a major rail infrastructure project. The supplier must be capable of providing the management, supervision, plant, labour, materials and temporary works needed for delivery, rather than supplying labour or materials alone. Relevant capability includes constructing external and internal masonry walls, installing concrete blocks, reinforcement, masonry ties, movement joints, padstones and lintels, and delivering wall-head fire stopping. The required team should understand coordination with structural slabs and concrete upstands, and maintain the quality and sequencing needed for portal-building construction. The stated suitability indicates that the package is aimed at organisations beyond the SME market, with the capacity to resource the works at this scale.
