## Summary

Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering Limited is issuing an expression of interest for a project titled "A57 Mega Props." This construction project falls under the industry categories of designs, props, and bridge construction work, with applicable CPV codes 22314000, 44461000, 45221100, and 45221110. The work involves creating seven props, each 23.8 meters long, capable of withstanding a force of 3640 kN, along with additional props varying in length. The design phase is scheduled for March 2025, with installation expected in the fourth quarter of 2025, and the contract period running from 4 March 2025 to 4 March 2026. The tender covers regions in the North East and North West of the United Kingdom, with the tender stage ending on 30 January 2025. This procurement uses a competitive procedure with negotiation, targeted towards small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in civil engineering, construction design, and specialised fabrication of structural props. Companies experienced in providing large-scale, high-strength props and those capable of innovative design solutions are well-suited to compete for this contract. The project offers a substantial scope of work and potential for extended partnerships with a major contractor like Balfour Beatty, fostering business growth through expertise in high-demand engineering solutions. SMEs with capabilities in structural engineering, construction materials supply, and heavy-duty fabrication will find this project particularly advantageous.

## Notice

7 props will be 23.8 m long and will resist a force of 3640 kN each. 1 prop will be approximately 27 metres long and another prop will be required, but the length will be between 27m and 15 metres dependent on the design produced by the supplier. The design will be required in March 2025 and the installation is likely to be in Q4 of 2025. The hire period will be approximately six months. I attach two drawings that will help with understanding the scope of work. Additional information: Note: This is only an expression of interest for the time being, ITT documents will not be posted via contracts finder
