Summary of the contracting process

Balfour Beatty VINCI JV HS2 is seeking a supply-chain partner for precast concrete water attenuation tanks for the HS2 Area North main works civils project. The requirement covers design from the buyer’s technical specification, manufacture and delivery to site. This is a goods supply opportunity supporting drainage infrastructure, including ground-drainage works (CPV 44163112, drainage systems). Delivery is required in the West Midlands. The tanks will form part of the project’s water-management and drainage arrangements. The scope is intended for suppliers able to provide an integrated design, production and delivery service rather than only one element of the supply. Full technical details and specifications will be provided to suppliers that are shortlisted following this stage.

The procurement has reached tender: Balfour Beatty VINCI JV HS2 invited suppliers to submit an expression of interest for consideration and shortlisting. Expressions of interest were due by 28 September 2026 at 5:00pm. The estimated contract value is between £1,000,000 and £2,500,000. The contract period is 25 January 2027 to 28 June 2027. This is a goods procurement for a single requirement delivered in the West Midlands. Suppliers are expected to assess their capability before responding, with detailed specifications to follow for shortlisted suppliers. The published opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement information sets out the required design, manufacture and delivery scope; shortlisted suppliers will receive the fuller technical requirements for the next stage.

This opportunity suits manufacturers and specialist precast-concrete suppliers with the capability to design attenuation tanks from a technical specification, manufacture them to the required standard and coordinate reliable delivery to a major civil-engineering project. It is particularly relevant to businesses able to manage the complete supply chain, from interpreting engineering requirements through production, quality control, logistics and delivery to site. Suppliers should have sufficient production capacity, technical design resources and project-management arrangements to support a substantial infrastructure programme. Experience of drainage, water-management or other precast concrete products would be relevant to the requirement. The opportunity is identified as suitable for SMEs, making it potentially accessible to established specialist firms with the scale and operational control to deliver the full scope.
