The contract falls under the industry category of Steel and is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. This contract is currently at the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for April 9, 2024. The contract value is £10,000,000, and it involves works related to steel bridges and structural steel erection. This opportunity presents a chance for businesses involved in construction work for steel bridges and structural steelworks to compete for a contract that involves the refurbishment of the CGJ7/162A Clifton Bridge. With the contract set to start on January 1, 2026, and completion expected by June 1, 2026, interested parties can leverage their expertise in structural engineering and bridge maintenance to deliver high-quality solutions for the specified project requirements. ## Notice CGJ7/162A is a three-span continuous post-tensioned segmental twin cell concrete underbridge on the West Coast Mainline between Oxenholme and Penrith. The central span of the structure passes over 6 lanes of the M6 Motorway with a span of 57.9m. The two back spans, referred to as the Lancaster Span and Penrith Span, have span lengths of 30.5m. The structure carries two 25kV electrified lines, the Up Main with a linespeed of 95mph and Down Main with a linespeed of 100mph and 105mph EPS (note error in CRT with regards to existing linespeeds). The deck is supported by bankseat abutments, and two intermediate reinforced concrete piers situated either side of the M6 carriageways. The structure was constructed in 1967 after the deck was slid into position during a possession. The deck is simply supported at the abutments but is supported continuously over the two intermediate piers. The free movement end is located at the Penrith bankseat. The two piers are 8.1m high and both are founded on reinforced concrete spread footings. Investigations completed by Ramboll in 2019 (ref. 1620000224/CGJ7/162A/AR/001), concluded that the current deck has a load-carrying capacity of RA0 at 100mph but that if traffic could be controlled so that only one track is loaded at a time, the bridge cold sustain 15BSUs at 100mph. These conclusions are predominantly due to the unbonded post-tensioning system. The most recent available detailed exam completed in June 2022, identified several significant structural defects: > The bearings are heavily corroded but do not appear to be deteriorating. > Hairline fractures to the high mileage abutment. This is a possible sign that the bearings may have seized. > Numerous areas of spalled concrete and exposed secondary reinforcement throughout the superstructure and with similar developing to the soffit of central span over motorway. > Widespread cracking to post-tensioned box girder both internally and externally. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/97cd1d53-a34b-47c5-99cb-88de218d9fba | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | 9 Apr 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2026 - 1 Jun 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000,000 | | 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 | BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED | | Locality | CARLISLE | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA2 7NA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD13 Cumberland | | Local authority | Cumberland | | Electoral ward | Belle Vue | | Westminster constituency | Carlisle | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 14 - Mining, basic metals and related products - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 14622000 - Steel - 45221115 - Construction work for steel bridges - 45223210 - Structural steelworks - 45262400 - Structural steel erection work - 45262420 - Structural steel erection work for structures ## Release History - 2 Apr 2024 at 09:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/97cd1d53-a34b-47c5-99cb-88de218d9fba ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/97cd1d53-a34b-47c5-99cb-88de218d9fba 2nd April 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=79105719 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
