Classified under mechanical and electrical engineering services, the project involves designing and delivering a west-facing turnback to boost operational capacity and resilience. The procurement, under the active tender stage as of 7th October 2025, covers a contract period from 18th May to 31st July 2026. Bids are welcomed until 13th October 2025. The project is located in the North West of the UK, with potential delivery to British Overseas Territories and other regions. The estimated contract value ranges from £50,000 to £100,000. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the mechanical and electrical engineering sectors, particularly those specialising in power and lighting systems installation. The tender is well-suited for SMEs possessing the technical capability to supply, install, test, and commission the required systems, including managing documentation and attending relevant inspections. By participating, businesses can leverage this high-profile project with DfT funding to enhance their market presence in the infrastructure industry. The project’s expansive geographical scope, including British Oversea Territories and beyond, offers further business growth potential for international operations. ## Notice Brewery Turnback an enhancement scheme funded by the DfT. Formerly known as Manchester Victoria East Turnback, it has been prioritised for early development from the Central Manchester Capacity and Performance study to boost capacity and resilience. The scheme is for the design and delivery of a West facing turnback, located at Brewery Junction. At Victoria station, the through platforms also accommodate terminating trains due to an imbalance of local services to the east and west of the station. The extended time to terminate and turnback in the platforms restricts platform availability for through services. Operational flexibility of the station would be improved if services could utilise a turnback facility to the East of the station. The turnback would also be a service recovery measure during times of perturbation. The turnback is to accommodate trains up to 6 car x 26 m vehicles (DMU and EMU); with trains being able to access the turnback to and from Platforms 3-6 at Manchester Victoria station. As part of the MNTP programme, it was identified that the provision of a turnback facility to the East of Manchester Victoria Train station would provide operational flexibility. Currently, the platforms at Manchester Victoria must accommodate terminating trains, this restricts the availability of the through platforms, impacting performance and causing a timetable constraint. In a standard hour, two services, typically from Kirkby / Preston / Wigan are booked to terminate in the through platforms before the driver changes ends and the train departs in the opposite direction. Typical turnaround times are between 5-10 minutes, meaning that the platform, and route through it, remains occupied for the duration of the turnaround. The operational flexibility of the station would be improved if services could utilise a turnback facility to the East of the station. The turnback would also be a service recovery measure during perturbation. ES2-4 design and development was undertaken by WSP Limited and accepted by Network Rail. However, there are many instances within the designs where assumptions have been made stating that the TRU works would be complete prior to commencement of the project and all as built designs and source records would be available. M & E Scope of Work: The supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the Small power and Lighting systems. This includes, but is not limited to: DNO Cubicle, Mains Distribution equipment, 400v and 230v cabling, Bollard Lighting, Buffer stop Lighting and associated controls. This is to include all hand back deliverables such as red line drawings, O&M manuals, eclipse updates and attendance at AMP016 walkouts. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/836f8814-439a-47ff-b273-21be1987ab20 | | 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 | 7 Oct 2025 | | Submission deadline | 13 Oct 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 May 2026 - 31 Jul 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 INFRASTRUCTURE AND OVERSEAS - 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 | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45351000 - Mechanical engineering installation works - 51100000 - Installation services of electrical and mechanical equipment - 71334000 - Mechanical and electrical engineering services ## Release History - 7 Oct 2025 at 07:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/836f8814-439a-47ff-b273-21be1987ab20 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/836f8814-439a-47ff-b273-21be1987ab20 7th October 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=100778479 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
