Summary of the contracting process

BIP Solutions Limited, for the Eiffage Kier joint venture delivering HS2 civil engineering works, is seeking suppliers to provide daywork hire of eight-wheel tipper wagons. The vehicles will support the C23 project, which covers the new high-speed rail link between the Chiltern Tunnel and Long Itchington Wood. Work is required across three delivery areas: the North Chilterns to Aylesbury, Calvert to Greatworth, and Greatworth to Southam. The wider project involves major excavation, viaducts, green tunnels, road diversions and bridges, so the requirement is suited to haulage, plant-hire and transport businesses able to supply tipper wagons for construction operations. The procurement is classified as a service for tipper trucks.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited expressions of interest and offers through a limited competitive quotation procedure below the applicable threshold. Responses were due by 31 July 2026 at 5:00 pm. The planned contract period runs from 6 September 2026 to 6 September 2028. The estimated value is between £500,000 and £1,000,000, inclusive of the stated minimum and maximum values. EKFB may appoint more than one supplier, with awards potentially arranged according to geographical capability. The opportunity is being assessed through a competitive quotation process; the published information does not set out a separate quality or price weighting.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized businesses, including local plant-hire, haulage and construction-support operators. Strong candidates will have appropriate experience supplying and operating, or hiring out, eight-wheel tipper wagons for civil engineering or major infrastructure work. They will need sufficient vehicle availability and operational resources to support construction activity across one or more of the three delivery areas over the contract period. Geographic reach is commercially important because suppliers may be selected according to where they can provide services. The possibility of appointing multiple suppliers may allow businesses to compete for work in the areas they can serve effectively, rather than requiring coverage of the whole project.
