Design & Construction of the BOXBAY Empty Superstack

LONDON GATEWAY PORT

There are 2 contracts in this contracting process.

Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process detailed involves London Gateway Port Limited, based in London, United Kingdom, for the "Design & Construction of the BOXBAY Empty Superstack". This project pertains to the industry category of mechanical installations, and its main objective is the storage of containers at the port. Located specifically at London Gateway Port, it involves integrating high-bay stack systems between Berths 3 and 4 to manage empty containers efficiently. The procurement stage was recently completed with the contract awarded to BoxBay FZCO, a unique supplier recognised for their proprietary, patented system that aligns perfectly with the technical requirements of the port. This direct procurement method was justified under UK Procurement laws due to intellectual property considerations and lack of alternative suppliers. The contract period is set to begin on 30th July 2025 and end by 30th April 2029, with the potential for extension up to 2030.

This tender presents significant opportunities for specialised businesses, particularly those with expertise in high-density mechanical installations and patented industrial solutions, to engage in subsequent related contracts within the London Gateway Port infrastructure. Although BoxBay FZCO was uniquely suited for the initial award due to exclusive intellectual property rights, associated civil and structural works necessary for the overall high-bay stack system completion will be tendered separately. This opens avenues for companies with capabilities in engineering, manufacturing, and construction to compete in areas like structural integration and additional technical implementations. Businesses leveraging their competencies in technology-driven logistics solutions can position themselves favourably to contribute to this ambitious port infrastructure project, thereby expanding their market presence and fostering growth.
