UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

WM Trains Limited intends to procure works to deliver a new tank wagon loading and unloading facility at Tyseley Fuel Road 12 in Birmingham. The project covers railway construction, including railway depot construction work (CPV 45234100 and 45234112). The facility is intended for use at the Tyseley site and forms part of the buyer’s rail infrastructure requirements. This is a construction-led requirement rather than a supply-only contract: the scope involves creating a specialist rail facility for loading and unloading tank wagons. It should therefore interest contractors and specialist rail infrastructure firms able to deliver construction works in an operational or technically controlled railway environment.

The procurement is at the planning stage: WM Trains Limited has stated an intention to procure and has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use a two-stage competitive flexible procedure. The first stage is intended to award a Pre-Construction Services Agreement for GRIP 5. Following successful completion, the buyer expects to assess the detailed design and cost plan before negotiating a separate works contract covering GRIP Stages 6 to 8. The planned contract period is 4 January 2027 to 31 March 2028. The buyer’s indicative date for the next tender notice is 3 September 2026. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and is structured as one planned lot.

This will suit established rail construction contractors, railway depot specialists and firms with the design, engineering and delivery capability needed for a tank wagon loading and unloading facility. Relevant businesses are likely to need experience of railway construction and depot infrastructure, together with the technical capacity to develop a detailed design and cost plan at GRIP 5. Suppliers should be prepared to provide pre-construction services and demonstrate that they can support the project through later construction stages if separately appointed. The planned first-stage agreement does not guarantee the subsequent construction contract, so businesses should assess their appetite for design development, cost planning and potential negotiation of follow-on works. The requirement is likely to favour firms able to manage complex rail interfaces and specialist site delivery.
