UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Merseytravel is procuring works to remove and dispose of asbestos insulating board (AIB)-backed dado cladding panels along the North and South tubes of the Kingsway Tunnel. The work also covers removing and disposing of the associated brackets and support fixings, and redundant cabling fixed behind the panels, followed by decontamination and cleaning of the tunnel structure. This is asbestos-removal work, forming part of a tunnel maintenance project. The work is in the Kingsway Tunnel in the Liverpool City Region, in the North West of England.

Merseytravel invited tenders through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The enquiry deadline was 27 October 2026 at 17:00, and the tender submission deadline was 11 November 2026 at 11:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 11 January 2027 to 10 July 2028, with an option to extend to 10 January 2029 if needed to complete the specified works. The estimated contract value is £4.6 million including VAT. There is one lot. Tender submissions are evaluated on price and quality, including social value, weighted 30% for price and 70% for quality.

The opportunity is suited to licensed asbestos removal contractors with relevant qualifications and experience in safely removing and disposing of asbestos insulating board from a major tunnel environment. Suppliers need the capability to manage the full scope: removal of cladding panels, associated metalwork and redundant cabling, followed by decontamination and cleaning of the structure. The works span both tunnel tubes, so bidders should be able to plan and resource a substantial, coordinated site operation and deliver it to the required completion standard. Quality, including social value, carries greater weight than price in evaluation, making a strong delivery approach and credible social-value commitments important alongside competitive pricing.
