Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Salford Crescent Accommodation Block has reached the award stage, with Kier Transportation acting as the buying organisation. This project falls under the category of construction work for buildings related to railway transport and includes the construction of a third passenger platform, new lifts, stairs, and accommodations at the Salford Crescent station in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender process initially began with a call for expressions of interest for contractor engagement, and the contract period is from 1st August 2025 to 20th November 2025, with a minimum project value of £15,000 and an awarded value of £107,151. The initiative forms part of a broader effort by Network Rail to enhance station capabilities across Manchester, further boosting regional capacity and flow.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, particularly those with expertise in railway transport-related infrastructure. Firms proficient in brickwork, internal fitting, and construction of short-stay accommodations are well-positioned to profit from this project. Although the suitability criteria do not specifically favour SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with a robust portfolio in complex construction projects stand to benefit significantly. This venture not only strengthens the infrastructure sector in the region but also sets precedence for similar future projects, offering prospective avenues for business expansion and high visibility within the UK infrastructure domain.
