The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with a closing date of 2 August 2024. Manufacture of the panels is expected to begin in late 2025, with the contract running until September 2027. The panels are to be used as part of a route-wide acoustic barrier and will include specific design considerations such as woodchip acoustic brick tiles and various panel thicknesses. The estimated contract value is between £20 million and £30 million. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses experienced in the manufacture and installation of concrete products, particularly those with annual turnovers exceeding £20 million. Companies that can demonstrate strong technical and manufacturing capabilities will find this project a lucrative opportunity for growth, given its scale and the projected two-year manufacturing timeline. The requirements for a long design life warranty and a high daily output rate underscore the need for established manufacturers with substantial capacity and quality assurance processes. This tender is especially suitable for larger enterprises capable of scaling up to meet the volume and technical specifications detailed by EKFB JV. ## Notice EKFB is seeking to appoint two competent manufacturer(s) to supply and install reinforced precast panels that contain cast in woodchip acoustic brick tiles. There are approximately 23,000 panels of 4m wide x 1m high across 3 main variants and a number of sub-variants allowing for slope/penetrations etc. Their thickness will be between 170mm and 380mm and approximately 20% will have a cast-in 'crank' at the head of the panel. Approx. 60% will require slots cast into the profile on each side. The wood chip solution will be nominated by EKFB. A 40-year design life warranty is required from the manufacturer (subject to satisfactory testing). No additional design is required. Manufacture of the panels is programmed to take approximately two years, beginning late 2025, with average daily casting requirements of 60 units per day (30 per day per manufacturer). EKFB are looking for offerings led by the manufacturer/precaster whose annual turnover exceeds PS20m, who are used to dealing with packages of this volume, and who can clearly demonstrate technical capability and quality of manufacture in addition to overall capability and capacity to undertake the works. The acoustic barrier generally will total approximately 25km in length and run route wide from North Chilterns to Southam. Please carefully consider the information above and whether this opportunity is suitable for your business before registering your interest. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b2732069-d759-4ea2-9b78-9dc16516ad5d | | 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 | 23 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 2 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Nov 2025 - 24 Sep 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000,000 | | 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 | EIFFAGE KIER JV HS2 MAIN CIVILS WORKS, LOTS C2 & C3 | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B3 2DT | | 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 | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ### Codes - 32342400 - Acoustic devices - 34928120 - Barrier components - 44114200 - Concrete products ## Release History - 23 Jul 2024 at 13:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b2732069-d759-4ea2-9b78-9dc16516ad5d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b2732069-d759-4ea2-9b78-9dc16516ad5d 23rd July 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=82722985 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
