Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation Limited is seeking a consultant or subcontractor for pre-construction work connected with the reprovision of facilities at MoD Warcop. The scope covers early contractor involvement, including design review, buildability advice, pricing, programming and coordination with suppliers, alongside temporary works and flood modelling. This is civil engineering design and modelling work, with survey and flood-risk elements (CPV 71322000). Delivery is at MoD Warcop in the North West of England. The requirement combines advisory and technical design input to support preparation and planning of the works; it is aimed at firms able to contribute to the pre-construction process as well as undertake flood modelling for temporary works.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive procedure with negotiation, using a selective approach. The stated procurement value is £2,000,000. The deadline for submissions was set as 23 October 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 10 May 2027. The opportunity is presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The stated minimum business competence framework is the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria. Prospective bidders are asked to provide a company portfolio, relevant experience and references for evaluation. The requirement covers the pre-construction engineering and modelling services associated with the Warcop reprovision and temporary works.

This requirement may suit engineering consultancies and specialist subcontractors with civil engineering design capability, particularly firms experienced in early contractor involvement and pre-construction planning. Relevant strengths include reviewing designs for constructability, developing prices and programmes, and coordinating suppliers. Providers with temporary works expertise and the ability to carry out flood modelling are well placed to address the technical scope. The buyer indicates that the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria will be used as a minimum business competence check, so firms should be prepared to demonstrate compliance and provide a credible portfolio, relevant project experience and references. The opportunity is framed as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller specialist businesses with the necessary expertise and capacity to support a multi-disciplinary infrastructure project.
