This tender aims to enhance capacity and resilience in the Manchester area, as part of a broader Department for Transport (DfT) funded initiative. The project involves designing and delivering an east-facing turnback on the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Line near Salford Central Station. Key dates include a tender submission deadline of 24th September 2024, with the contract period running from 27th January 2025 to 31st October 2025. The procurement falls under the category of bridge renewal construction work, with a budget ranging from £50,000 to £100,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction and infrastructure sector, particularly those specialising in railway improvements and bridge repairs. Companies with expertise in designing and managing large-scale construction projects, including electrified railway sidings, would find this contract particularly fitting. The successful bidder will play a crucial role in enhancing transportation efficiency in a major urban area, potentially leading to further contracts and business growth within the UK and possibly in international markets. ## 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/4d7f9ffd-2f22-4833-ac9c-b29163049cc8 | | 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 | 19 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 24 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Jan 2025 - 31 Oct 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 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 - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 44212100 - Bridge - 45221119 - Bridge renewal construction work ## Release History - 19 Sep 2024 at 07:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4d7f9ffd-2f22-4833-ac9c-b29163049cc8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4d7f9ffd-2f22-4833-ac9c-b29163049cc8 19th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=85331035 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
