This tender falls under the category of site preparation work and engineering design services for civil engineering construction. Located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, the project aims to enhance capacity and resilience as part of a Department for Transport-funded scheme. The current procurement stage is the tender phase, with the deadline for submissions set for 13th June 2025. The contract period is expected to start on 7th July 2025 and conclude on 18th September 2025, with a total project value estimated at £100,000. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering, construction, and electrical works. Companies with a strong track record in infrastructure projects, especially those that require complex logistical operations such as temporary installations, would be well-suited to compete. While the minimum contract value is set at £50,000, the comprehensive nature of the work outlines the chance for participating firms to showcase expertise in handling projects of this scale. Although not specifically targeting SMEs or VCSEs, the tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses capable of delivering projects encompassing design, construction, and site preparation. ## Notice This is an enhancement scheme funded by the DfT and is part of a package of proposed measures in the Manchester area that are planned to boost capacity and resilience, emanating from the Cross Manchester Capacity and Reliability Improvement Study. The scheme is for the design and delivery of an East facing turnback, located on the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Line (ELR: MVE1) adjacent to the existing Salford Hope Street (Cemex) sidings between Salford Central Station and the Oldfield Road Bridge. At Victoria Station, the through platforms also accommodate terminating trains. The extended time to terminate and turnback in the platforms restricts platform availability for through services. The provision of the turnback siding will allow terminating services from the East arriving at Victoria to clear the platform, travel to the turnback siding and await their next turn of duty, clear of the station. There is the further benefit of an additional stop at Salford Central Station for passengers to disembark for Manchester Spinningfields, a major employment location in the city centre. The turnback would also act as a service recovery measure during times of service perturbation. The turnback is to consist of two roads, to accommodate trains up to 8 car x 24m in one road and 6 car x 24m in a second road; with access to and from platforms 3-6 at Manchester Victoria via existing connections. The new east facing turnback shall also be able to operate as a berthing/storage siding, with walking routes to allow train crew to access and egress the railway. The turnback will be fully electrified at 25kV and be fully signalled as a route for planned, rather than simply emergency, usage. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8732c32-a479-4e08-a3b8-d10e39b159c6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | 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 | 5 Jun 2025 | | Submission deadline | 13 Jun 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Jul 2025 - 18 Sep 2025 | | 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 TRANSPORTATION | | 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 - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45100000 - Site preparation work - 71322000 - Engineering design services for the construction of civil engineering works ## Release History - 5 Jun 2025 at 15:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8732c32-a479-4e08-a3b8-d10e39b159c6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8732c32-a479-4e08-a3b8-d10e39b159c6 5th June 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=95154549 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
