This project, published on 17 February 2025, falls under the construction work for bridges industry category. Located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, this tender is at the active stage, with the procurement process aiming to accommodate future demand by expanding platform capacity for longer train services. The tender period concludes on 28 February 2025, and the contract period is set to start on 30 June 2026, ending on 30 April 2029. The project budget ranges from £50,000 to £100,000 GBP. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, particularly those with a focus on bridge and mobile bridge construction. Companies experienced in large-scale transportation infrastructure projects will find this opportunity aligns well with their expertise. This tender encourages the involvement of companies capable of delivering complex infrastructure projects that meet strategic rail objectives in the Manchester area. While not specifically geared towards SMEs or VCSEs, larger construction firms can benefit from participating and contribute to the enhancement of the regional transportation network by ensuring increased capacity and reliability at Manchester Airport station. ## Notice The planned introduction of longer train services to the Airport in response to future demand growth will mean that double stacking arrangements of trains as currently used will no longer be viable. Through the project's Delivery Steering Group, Northern and TransPennine Express have carried out analysis which has identified that additional platform capacity is needed at the airport in order to realise the full benefit of longer train services serving the airport. The scheme is part of a package of proposed measures in the Manchester area that are being designed/planned to boost capacity and resilience, emanating from the Cross Manchester Capacity and Reliability Improvement Study. Improving the operation of train services in the centre of Manchester and providing further capacity at Manchester Airport station, aligns with the strategic aims of Network Rail, TfGM, TfN and the wider industry. This project in in Tranche 1 of the Manchester and North West Transformation Programme (MNTP): A remodelling of the station at Manchester Airport, specifically a platform addition or extension of multiple platforms, or provision of a new turnback facility, will be essential to accommodate the planned implementation of longer rolling stock services. The redevelopment of these platforms will enable permissive working of two 6x24m (144m) trains, in two of the four platforms at the Airport Station. This will allow for the unaltered retention of all existing TOC services both originating and terminating at the Airport Station under 'double-stacking' conditions." ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acd39181-3447-4f45-90d6-0268d31fa71d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 28 Feb 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Jun 2026 - 30 Apr 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | KIER TRANSPORTATION - CP7 NWC | | Locality | CLIPPERS QUAY | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M50 3XP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Salford | | Electoral ward | Quays | | Westminster constituency | Salford | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 34144300 - Mobile bridges - 45221100 - Construction work for bridges ## Release History - 17 Feb 2025 at 11:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acd39181-3447-4f45-90d6-0268d31fa71d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acd39181-3447-4f45-90d6-0268d31fa71d 17th February 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=90592670 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
