This initiative focuses on enhancing capacity and performance at Manchester Victoria station by developing a turnback facility to improve operational flexibility and service recovery. The industry category for this project is track construction works, with a budget range between £2,500,000 and £5,000,000. The tender process is currently at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 13th October 2025. The project is scheduled to commence on 18th May 2026 and conclude by 31st July 2026, primarily located in the North West of the United Kingdom. This tender creates business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in railway infrastructure and civil engineering projects. Businesses equipped to handle complex design and construction tasks, such as Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) foundations and track construction, will find this project an attractive prospect. The procurement process encourages participation from suitable SMEs, potentially offering long-term involvement in similar future projects within the UK's expanding rail network infrastructure. The project requires significant technical proficiency and the capacity to manage and deliver within specified timelines, making it well-suited for contractors with a proven track record in large-scale infrastructure projects. ## 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. OLE Scope of Work: The supply and installation and commissioning of new OLE foundations on the UP/ Down Rochdale Fast and on the new Turnback between Dalton Street and Miles Platting Junction (combination of piled, concrete pad, wall-mounted) This includes all hand back deliverables, such as redline drawings and attendance at AMP016 walkouts. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/762aa637-505a-45ca-b6be-1b45119dec0c | | 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 | £5,000,000 | | 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 ### Codes - 45234116 - Track construction works ## Release History - 7 Oct 2025 at 07:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/762aa637-505a-45ca-b6be-1b45119dec0c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/762aa637-505a-45ca-b6be-1b45119dec0c 7th October 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=100778588 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
