This tender is specifically for their C23 HS2 project, covering areas from the North Chilterns to Aylesbury, Calvert Area, Twyford to Greatworth, and Greatworth to Southam. The industry category is mobile plant construction work, and the opportunity includes the hire of cranes with operators. The estimated contract value ranges from £5,000,000 to £10,000,000 GBP. Businesses interested in this project should take note that the tender phase is active, with expressions of interest closing on 29th August 2025. The contract is expected to commence on 10th October 2025 and conclude by 3rd October 2028, with delivery locations in the East Midlands, West Midlands, and South East regions of the United Kingdom. This tender offers businesses operating in the mobile crane sector a significant opportunity for growth. Given the scale and scope of the HS2 project, companies with the relevant expertise and geographical capability will find this an excellent chance to secure a long-term contract. The procurement process encourages the participation of SMEs, potentially allowing smaller enterprises to align with the project goals and benefit from increased exposure in high-speed rail infrastructure development. Companies well-versed in civil engineering support services, particularly those with a strong local presence or the ability to deploy resources efficiently across multiple locations, will be well-suited to compete for this opportunity. ## Notice EKFB seek EOI's from interested parties with the appropriate experience and resources for the supply of operated Mobile Cranes in the form of a call-off agreement to support the delivery of our C23 HS2 project. The 4 areas for delivery are North Chilterns to Aylesbury (NC2A), Calvert Area (CA), Twyford to Greatworth (T2G) and Greatworth to Southam (G2S).
