Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation has successfully concluded the award stage of the Salford Crescent - Civils contract, a significant infrastructure project aimed at enhancing the Salford Crescent station to accommodate increased capacity and improve transport conditions in the Manchester area. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, involved constructing a third passenger platform alongside upgrades such as new lifts, stairs, signalling works, and various civils works including precast concrete and surface drainage. The contract, valued at £1,233,656, was set to start on 1st March 2025 and end on 15th September 2025, marking an essential phase in Network Rail's broader development plan across the region. Previously, the tender was published on 11th November 2024, with an estimated minimum value of £250,000 and a closing period for expressions of interest by 18th November 2024.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering, particularly those with expertise in reinforced concrete structures, drainage, and fencing installation. Companies within these sectors can leverage this project to enhance their portfolios, especially larger enterprises as the suitability criteria indicate it is not tailored for SMEs or VCSEs. With Kier Transportation as the buyer, businesses have the chance to engage with a prominent player in the transport infrastructure industry, potentially leading to further opportunities within Network Rail's expansive upgrade initiatives in the North West and surrounding areas.
