Summary of the contracting process

London Gateway Port Limited, a private utility entity, has issued a tender for the construction of the BOXBAY Main Works at London Gateway in the UK, specifically in the UKH32 region. This extensive project involves the creation of a high-bay automated empty container storage facility, including demolition, substructure, superstructure, and infrastructure works. The procurement process is currently in the tender update stage, having commenced on 1st April 2026, with the expression of interest deadline extended to 15th May 2026. The competitive flexible procedure includes stages like RFI submission, tender rounds, and final evaluation until an award notice is issued by 13th July 2026. The procurement adheres to competitive principles with technical and commercial criteria set at 40% and 60%, respectively.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in structural steel erection and construction-related areas due to the large-scale nature of the BOXBAY facility works, which include structural steel fabrication and installation of complex civil engineering structures. Ideal contenders would include companies with capabilities in heavy-duty civil construction, steel fabrication, and advanced construction technology, especially those experienced in working within operational port constraints. The project value is £36 million, focusing on delivering innovative storage solutions, thus attracting entities looking to expand their portfolio in delivering state-of-the-art infrastructure projects. Suitable suppliers can gain long-term growth by establishing partnerships with London Gateway or enhancing their market presence through involvement in such a landmark project.
