The procurement focuses on the supply of 2,000 linear metres of U-trough lids for installation at the Washwood Heath site, with a contract value of approximately £1,000,000. This tender falls under the drainage system industry category, with additional classifications such as drain covers and concrete products. The process is currently in the tender stage, and interested parties must submit their expressions of interest by 26th September 2025. The project’s installation is scheduled to commence on 30th April 2026, covering multiple regions across the UK, including the North East and West Midlands. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Those in the manufacturing sector with expertise in producing concrete or drainage-related products would be well-suited for this contract. Suppliers with robust quality management systems and delivery capabilities across the UK are highly encouraged to participate. Given the scale of the project and specific stakeholder requirements, this contract offers a substantial opportunity to enhance one’s portfolio within the infrastructure domain, particularly alongside a high-profile project like HS2. ## Notice U-trough scope Supply 2000 [two thousand] linear meters of U-trough lids for installation into the Washwood Heath Retained Cut at Railway base slab level. An outline design of the U-trough lid system has been proposed by BBV. See Drawing number 1MC08-BBV_MSD-GT-DDE-NS03_NL08-760255 C01. A similar solution OR an alternative solution is required from the Supplier to satisfy the requirements detailed in 1MC08-BBV_MSD-GT-DDE-NS03_NL08-760255 C01 taking particular care of the resistance to uplift forces and installation methodology. The Supplier's proposed solution will need to conform with the Acceptance Criteria of different stakeholders including HS2 Ltd before being put into production. The Supplier is to manufacture the full quantity of U-trough lids required by BBV in conformance with BBV's Quality Management requirements. The Supplier is to ensure all of the material is delivered safely to the Washwood Heath site and packaged in a way that can be easily lifted by mechanical means. BBV is planning to install the U-trough covers starting April 2026. The Supplier should consider and advise BBV whether they wish to install the U-trough covers. Additional information: Suppliers should be aware of the scale of this project and should assess their internal capabilities to be able to carry out the intended scope of work, prior to completing this expression of interest (EOI). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6eb37cfb-94cc-4324-b04b-dacd5040a7b5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | 26 Sep 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Apr 2026 - 16 Oct 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BALFOUR BEATTY VINCI JV HS2 | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B1 2LP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 44114200 - Concrete products - 44114250 - Concrete slabs - 44163112 - Drainage system - 44423750 - Drain covers - 45111240 - Ground-drainage work - 45232451 - Drainage and surface works - 45262350 - Unreinforced-concrete work ## Release History - 11 Sep 2025 at 13:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6eb37cfb-94cc-4324-b04b-dacd5040a7b5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6eb37cfb-94cc-4324-b04b-dacd5040a7b5 11th September 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=99645882 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
