Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Oldfield Road - MEP Works" is currently at the Tender stage, under the direction of Kier Transportation. The project is part of a scheme funded by the Department for Transport aimed at enhancing infrastructure in the Manchester region. This involves electrical and mechanical engineering works, specifically at a railway site adjacent to Salford Hope Street in Manchester. The tender period closes on 28th October 2025, with the contract period slated from 17th January 2026 to 18th September 2026. The procurement falls under the category of electrical installations for railways and is estimated to be valued at £500,000. The project is primarily located in the North West of the UK but extends potential opportunities across British Overseas Territories and Europe, among other regions.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in electrical and mechanical engineering services. The scope includes essential works such as the installation of mains distribution panels, lighting control cubicles, and circuits. With a focus on railway infrastructure, businesses capable of delivering high-quality mechanical and electrical installation services are well-positioned to compete. Winning this contract could enhance a company's portfolio and expertise in the rail sector, providing a platform for future bidding on similar government-funded projects. The project's value and duration make it an attractive proposition for companies looking to expand their operations in a high-demand industry.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Oldfield Road - MEP Works

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. Scope includes but not limited to: Installation of Mains Distribution/Lighting control cubicle Installation of Submains Installation of finals circuits Installation of Lighting bollards Installation of Earthing and Bonding Fuse upgrades within DNO Testing and commissioning Inspection and Test Plan Ellipse updates O&M Manual Red line Drawings
