Classified under the CPV code for magnets, this project requires submissions to be made by 10th November 2021, with a total contract value of £50,000. The contract period will commence on 3rd December 2021 and conclude by 4th January 2022. The procurement method is a limited competitive quotation aimed at securing goods for ongoing construction activities related to the UK High Speed 2 line. This tender presents substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in manufacturing lifting and handling equipment, particularly those capable of meeting the technical specifications outlined in the tender. Companies offering innovative magnetic solutions or remote-controlled lifting devices may find this opportunity particularly advantageous, as they can leverage their expertise to contribute to significant rail infrastructure projects. With competitive pricing and adherence to technical criteria, prospective bidders have a chance to establish a valuable partnership within the growing rail industry. ## Notice The Contractor (Align JV) has identified a package of works for the design and supply of a lifting beam with magnet to lift and relocate the formwork elements (up to 15T) using the existing overhead crane within our precast factory. This is associated with our works on the Colne Valley Viaduct. The formwork elements the lifting beam must be able to lift are of the following dimensions: Width: 6500mm Length: 2050mm to 4350mm The lifting beam needs to consider that some formwork elements have a top inclined panel which will need to be compensated for the centre of gravity. The proposed location of magnets (red areas) is shown in Figure 4 in the attachment. The arrangement is this image is considering only 4 magnets however it could be more if needed. The magnetic lifting beam must be operated with radio remote control to be able to do all function from a distance. The package will be competitively tendered and assessed against a split between commercial (price) and defined technical criteria. In July 2017, ALIGN (Bouygues Travaux Publics, Sir Robert McAlpine and Volker Fitzpatrick) won the significant C1 package of the UK High Speed 2 line (HS2). Lot C1 consists of 21.6km of high speed rail infrastructure in a rural environment. This will include a 3.37km viaduct, 15.75km twin-tubes tunnel and five vent shafts handling both piston effect and tunnel ventilation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe961fbc-7c55-4914-8c38-cc21f7017c18 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 10 Nov 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Dec 2021 - 4 Jan 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 1AD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | St Pancras & Somers Town | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 31630000 - Magnets - 42410000 - Lifting and handling equipment ## Release History - 4 Nov 2021 at 09:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe961fbc-7c55-4914-8c38-cc21f7017c18 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe961fbc-7c55-4914-8c38-cc21f7017c18 4th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=58954680 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
