Summary of the contracting process

Kier Infrastructure and Overseas - CP7 NWC is inviting tenders for the "Oldfield Road - Permanent way" project in the North West region of the United Kingdom. This procurement is part of the Department for Transport (DfT) funded enhancement scheme to improve capacity and resilience along the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Line. The project involves designing and delivering an east-facing turnback siding between Salford Central Station and the Oldfield Road Bridge, aiming to improve platform availability at Victoria Station. The tendering stage is currently active, with submissions accepted until 17:00 BST on 20th September 2024. The contract period is set to begin on 27th January 2025 and conclude on 31st October 2025. The tender has an estimated value ranging from £1,000,000 to £2,500,000, falling under the industry category of "Track construction works" (CPV 45234116).

This tender presents significant opportunities for experienced civil engineering firms specialising in railway infrastructure. The project’s scope, which includes construction and electrification, requires capabilities in complex track work, signalling, and project management. Companies with a track record of handling large-scale railway projects will find this tender particularly suitable. Successful participation could bolster business growth by enhancing portfolios with high-profile government projects and paving the way for future opportunities. Although the tender is not specifically marked for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), large engineering firms and consortia with relevant expertise are well-positioned to compete.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Oldfield Road - Permanent way

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.
