The project involves designing and delivering an East facing turnback on the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Line, adjacent to Salford Hope Street (Cemex) sidings, and is part of the Cross Manchester Capacity and Reliability Improvement Study funded by the Department for Transport. The procurement process is in the Tender stage with an end date for submissions on 20th September 2024, and the contract period will span from 27th January 2025 to 31st October 2025. The estimated contract value ranges from £100,000 to £150,000, and the project falls under the "Scaffolding" industry category with geographical implications primarily within the North West, United Kingdom, and including some international locations. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, and more specifically scaffolding, particularly those capable of handling large infrastructure projects with a focus on rail transport solutions. Given the scale and complexity of the project, it may be best suited for established companies with experience in railway enhancements and a proven track record in delivering high-value contracts. The project offers opportunities for growth through visibility, engagement in high-profile infrastructure improvement, and potential for future tenders issued by governmental transport bodies. Businesses focusing on technical innovation in railway operations and those providing niche scaffolding solutions for complex transport projects will find this tender particularly aligned with their capabilities. ## Notice This is an enhancement scheme funded by the DfT and is part of a package of proposed measures in the Manchester area that are planned to boost capacity and resilience, emanating from the Cross Manchester Capacity and Reliability Improvement Study. The scheme is for the design and delivery of an East facing turnback, located on the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Line (ELR: MVE1) adjacent to the existing Salford Hope Street (Cemex) sidings between Salford Central Station and the Oldfield Road Bridge. At Victoria Station, the through platforms also accommodate terminating trains. The extended time to terminate and turnback in the platforms restricts platform availability for through services. The provision of the turnback siding will allow terminating services from the East arriving at Victoria to clear the platform, travel to the turnback siding and await their next turn of duty, clear of the station. There is the further benefit of an additional stop at Salford Central Station for passengers to disembark for Manchester Spinningfields, a major employment location in the city centre. The turnback would also act as a service recovery measure during times of service perturbation. The turnback is to consist of two roads, to accommodate trains up to 8 car x 24m in one road and 6 car x 24m in a second road; with access to and from platforms 3-6 at Manchester Victoria via existing connections. The new east facing turnback shall also be able to operate as a berthing/storage siding, with walking routes to allow train crew to access and egress the railway. The turnback will be fully electrified at 25kV and be fully signalled as a route for planned, rather than simply emergency, usage. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8056484f-84ee-46e5-bcdc-ca5960cd6556 | | 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 | 13 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 20 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Jan 2025 - 31 Oct 2025 | | 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 INFRASTRUCTURE AND OVERSEAS - 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) ### Codes - 44212310 - Scaffolding ## Release History - 13 Sep 2024 at 13:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8056484f-84ee-46e5-bcdc-ca5960cd6556 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8056484f-84ee-46e5-bcdc-ca5960cd6556 13th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=85141792 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
