Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Kier Infrastructure and Overseas - CP7 NWC, is focused on the "Brewery Turnback - ES6-8 Civil Engineering" project. This initiative involves critical works under the category of civil engineering construction, aimed at enhancing rail capacity and resilience at the Brewery Junction near Manchester Victoria station. The project, with an estimated value of £1,000,000, is located in the North West of the United Kingdom and extends its impact to regions such as the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and beyond. Currently in the tender stage, potential bidders have until 13th October 2025 to submit proposals, with the contract period set from 18th May 2026 to 31st July 2026. The procurement method details have not been specified, however, the project is actively seeking tenders with a focus on works.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in civil engineering and construction, seeking to engage in substantial infrastructure projects. With a sizeable contract value, companies equipped to handle complex rail infrastructure enhancements and ancillary civil engineering tasks, such as supplying and installing new infrastructure components, can benefit from this opportunity. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, offering a pathway for growth through collaboration with large-scale infrastructure projects funded by the Department for Transport. This project not only supports organisational growth but also plays a role in regional economic development by improving operational efficiencies at a major transport hub.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Brewery Turnback - ES6-8 Civil Engineering

Notice Description

Brewery Turnback an enhancement scheme funded by the DfT. Formerly known as Manchester Victoria East Turnback, it has been prioritised for early development from the Central Manchester Capacity and Performance study to boost capacity and resilience. The scheme is for the design and delivery of a West facing turnback, located at Brewery Junction. At Victoria station, the through platforms also accommodate terminating trains due to an imbalance of local services to the east and west of the station. The extended time to terminate and turnback in the platforms restricts platform availability for through services. Operational flexibility of the station would be improved if services could utilise a turnback facility to the East of the station. The turnback would also be a service recovery measure during times of perturbation. The turnback is to accommodate trains up to 6 car x 26 m vehicles (DMU and EMU); with trains being able to access the turnback to and from Platforms 3-6 at Manchester Victoria station. As part of the MNTP programme, it was identified that the provision of a turnback facility to the East of Manchester Victoria Train station would provide operational flexibility. Currently, the platforms at Manchester Victoria must accommodate terminating trains, this restricts the availability of the through platforms, impacting performance and causing a timetable constraint. In a standard hour, two services, typically from Kirkby / Preston / Wigan are booked to terminate in the through platforms before the driver changes ends and the train departs in the opposite direction. Typical turnaround times are between 5-10 minutes, meaning that the platform, and route through it, remains occupied for the duration of the turnaround. The operational flexibility of the station would be improved if services could utilise a turnback facility to the East of the station. The turnback would also be a service recovery measure during perturbation. ES2-4 design and development was undertaken by WSP Limited and accepted by Network Rail. However, there are many instances within the designs where assumptions have been made stating that the TRU works would be complete prior to commencement of the project and all as built designs and source records would be available. Ancillary Civil Engineering Scope of Work: The supply and installation of the new infrastructure. This includes, but is not limited to, the following: new cable trough route, new signal foundations, new LOC foundations, ARMCO barriers, fencing, ducting system, and URX system. This includes all handback deliverables, such as redline drawings, O&M manuals, and attendance at AMP016 walkouts.
