This project is part of a wider effort to enhance train services at the airport, primarily due to increased demand and the introduction of longer trains. Classified under the industry category of cladding and construction work for steel bridges, the project is situated in the North West of the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with the tender period closing on 20th July 2026. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st December 2026 and conclude by 17th March 2027. The procurement process is active, seeking contributions from SMEs but not specifically targeting VCSE organisations. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the construction and steelworks sectors. Companies with expertise in providing bridge sections and cladding solutions will find this project particularly well-suited to their capabilities. The contract, valued at up to £150,000, is especially attractive for small and medium enterprises looking to expand their portfolio in public-sector infrastructure projects. Engaging in this project can enhance business growth by aligning with high-profile organisations like Network Rail and collaborating on initiatives that are crucial for transportation development in the region. ## 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. The scope areas for this package are as follows: The supply and installation of Steel Parapet Bridge Facia to MIA2 overbridge ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/968d6287-dde1-4884-823b-7cd57b1ea70f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2026 - 17 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | 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 - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 44212110 - Bridge sections - 44212381 - Cladding - 45221115 - Construction work for steel bridges ## Release History - 13 Jul 2026 at 14:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/968d6287-dde1-4884-823b-7cd57b1ea70f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/968d6287-dde1-4884-823b-7cd57b1ea70f 13th July 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=115697901 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
