Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contracting authority, Kier Infrastructure and Overseas - CP7 NWC, is seeking tenders for the design and delivery of the "Oldfield Road - Track Crossing" project. This enhancement scheme, funded by the Department for Transport (DfT), aims to boost capacity and resilience in the Manchester area. The procurement is currently at the Tender stage and involves the construction of an East facing turnback on the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Line, between Salford Central Station and the Oldfield Road Bridge. The work will primarily be carried out in the North West region of the United Kingdom, with significant dates including the tender submission deadline of 20th September 2024, a contract start date of 27th January 2025, and completion by 31st October 2025. The project falls under the CPV category of track construction works and has a value ranging between GBP 15,000 and GBP 25,000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in rail infrastructure and construction, particularly those capable of delivering complex track construction and electrification projects. Companies with experience in handling projects that improve rail network capacity and service reliability will find this tender particularly appealing. Additionally, the project could benefit businesses that provide integrated services combining design, delivery, and signalling capabilities. Participation in such a pivotal scheme can significantly enhance a company's portfolio and presence in the UK transport infrastructure sector. As the project is not marked for SMEs or VCSEs, larger organisations with robust resources and expertise are well-suited to compete for this tender.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Oldfield Road - Track Crossing

Notice Description

This is an enhancement scheme funded by the DfT and is part of a package of proposed measures in the Manchester area that are planned to boost capacity and resilience, emanating from the Cross Manchester Capacity and Reliability Improvement Study. The scheme is for the design and delivery of an East facing turnback, located on the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Line (ELR: MVE1) adjacent to the existing Salford Hope Street (Cemex) sidings between Salford Central Station and the Oldfield Road Bridge. At Victoria Station, the through platforms also accommodate terminating trains. The extended time to terminate and turnback in the platforms restricts platform availability for through services. The provision of the turnback siding will allow terminating services from the East arriving at Victoria to clear the platform, travel to the turnback siding and await their next turn of duty, clear of the station. There is the further benefit of an additional stop at Salford Central Station for passengers to disembark for Manchester Spinningfields, a major employment location in the city centre. The turnback would also act as a service recovery measure during times of service perturbation. The turnback is to consist of two roads, to accommodate trains up to 8 car x 24m in one road and 6 car x 24m in a second road; with access to and from platforms 3-6 at Manchester Victoria via existing connections. The new east facing turnback shall also be able to operate as a berthing/storage siding, with walking routes to allow train crew to access and egress the railway. The turnback will be fully electrified at 25kV and be fully signalled as a route for planned, rather than simply emergency, usage.
