Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Uk Power Networks Services is seeking contractors for the "Airport Civils (Operational Civils)" project, specifically within the construction industry category involving civil engineering services. The procurement process is in the tender stage and was published on 10 March 2026, with the tender period closing on 17 March 2026. The works are applicable to locations such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and Europe, primarily focusing on civil works at various airport areas. Procurement for this large-scale service, worth between £10,000,000 and £20,000,000 GBP, is conducted through a selective method using a call-off from a framework agreement. The project will start on 1 October 2026 and continue until 1 October 2031.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses experienced in civil and electrical engineering services, particularly those skilled in working within regulated and controlled environments such as airports. Companies adept in excavation, concrete cutting, steel structures, and trench installation could see considerable growth. While the procurement is selective, businesses with the capability to manage complex regulatory processes and operate competitively both airside and landside at airports are encouraged to participate. Given the scope and delivery requirements, larger firms with robust operational methodologies will likely find the tender advantageous, although the procurement does not show a particular suitability for SMEs or VCSEs.

The Contractor shall be expected to carry out the Services in part of the airport areas shown on the diagram. Contractors are required to provide design, supply of materials and installation as instructed. Airport Operations: The civils and minor works requirements at airports have been divided into airside and landside areas. The airside area includes all parts of the airport around the aircraft, and the parts of the buildings that are only accessible to passengers and staff whilst inside the protected airport land. The landside area is the part of an airport farthest from the aircraft, the boundary of which is the security check, customs, and passport control alongside works, which may require local council approvals such as access roads and local airport businesses. In contrast, the landside area is open to the public, while access to the airside area is tightly controlled. Working within airside requires specific airside passes, scrutiny, safety checks and airport regulatory processes. Due to the nature and complexity of services delivery, this proposal is mainly focused on the civils and minor works requirements which can operate airside however will allow of landside works should the contractor be competitive. The main activities will include as below, except where stated the contractor shall include provision of all materials and services within the commercial pricing for the tender. Works will be comprised of planned and unplanned works. * Provision of general civil services: * Excavations * Removal and backfill * Excavations and installation of cable ducts, trenches and pits * Substation Bases * Concrete Cutting * Steel Structures * Cast Concrete Bases, * Pit, Ducts and Trench, * Traditional Brick Structures * Vac-Ex
