This initiative falls within the Civil Engineering Consultancy Services category and aims to boost platform capacity at Manchester Airport station in response to the increased demand for longer train services. Key dates include the tender end date on 13th September 2024 and the project contract period spanning from 20th January 2025 to 17th January 2027. The project, with an estimated value of £2.5 million, is part of broader efforts to enhance rail capacity and reliability in the Manchester area. This tender offers significant opportunities for civil engineering, architectural, and railway engineering firms, particularly those capable of delivering complex infrastructural enhancements. Businesses specialising in signalling equipment and fire/explosion protection consultancy would also find this project beneficial. Given its scope and strategic importance, the project is well-suited for established entities in the sector aiming to expand their portfolio and participate in a high-profile undertaking, contributing to long-term growth and visibility in the industry. ## Notice The planned introduction of longer train services to the Airport in response to future demand growth will mean that double stacking arrangements of trains as currently used will no longer be viable. Through the project's Delivery Steering Group, Northern and TransPennine Express have carried out analysis which has identified that additional platform capacity is needed at the airport in order to realise the full benefit of longer train services serving the airport. The scheme is part of a package of proposed measures in the Manchester area that are being designed/planned to boost capacity and resilience, emanating from the Cross Manchester Capacity and Reliability Improvement Study. Improving the operation of train services in the centre of Manchester and providing further capacity at Manchester Airport station, aligns with the strategic aims of Network Rail, TfGM, TfN and the wider industry. This project in in Tranche 1 of the Manchester and North West Transformation Programme (MNTP): A remodelling of the station at Manchester Airport, specifically a platform addition or extension of multiple platforms, or provision of a new turnback facility, will be essential to accommodate the planned implementation of longer rolling stock services. The redevelopment of these platforms will enable permissive working of two 6x24m (144m) trains, in two of the four platforms at the Airport Station. This will allow for the unaltered retention of all existing TOC services both originating and terminating at the Airport Station under 'double-stacking' conditions. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/65b70dc4-aee6-4e62-a0e4-fc982fbb1b38 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | 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 | 3 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 13 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Jan 2025 - 17 Jan 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,500,000 | | 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 TRANSPORTATION - 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 34632100 - Mechanical signalling - 34942000 - Signalling equipment - 71220000 - Architectural design services - 71311000 - Civil engineering consultancy services - 71311230 - Railway engineering services - 71317100 - Fire and explosion protection and control consultancy services - 71320000 - Engineering design services ## Release History - 3 Sep 2024 at 15:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/65b70dc4-aee6-4e62-a0e4-fc982fbb1b38 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/65b70dc4-aee6-4e62-a0e4-fc982fbb1b38 3rd September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=84834786 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
