This project falls under the industry category of Piling, identified by the CPV code 44212400. Located in the North West of the United Kingdom, this procurement aims to enhance train services at Manchester Airport by improving platform capacity and resilience. The tender process started on 10th February 2026, with the submission deadline set for 20th February 2026. The contract period is planned from 4th May 2026 to 13th July 2026, offering a total project value estimated between £250,000 and £500,000. This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses involved in construction and civil engineering, specifically those with experience in piling and temporary works installation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the tender's suitability criteria are designed to include these types of organisations. Companies capable of delivering high-quality works within the proposed timeframe and budget will be best positioned to compete effectively, leveraging this project to expand their presence in the transport infrastructure sector and gain a foothold in future development programmes in the Greater Manchester area. ## 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. The scope areas for this package are as follows: The piling mat location along S2 and S1 walls will need to be installed to accommodate the arrival of the SF95 CFA piling rigs. The excavation of material and installation of temporary works for the pile mats will be on 3rd party land belonging to the Clayton Hotel and MAG. - Clayton Hotel Wall Removal/Relocation and Reinstatement upon completion. - Remove Fencing - Piling Mat Installation (S1 134m, S2 194m) - Screw Piles - Stone up the area adjacent to the UU area (already deveged) - Install Railway access steps ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22a58595-1e7e-45f7-8219-c50361b9fec8 | | 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 | 10 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 20 Feb 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 May 2026 - 13 Jul 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £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 | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ### Codes - 44212400 - Piling ## Release History - 10 Feb 2026 at 11:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22a58595-1e7e-45f7-8219-c50361b9fec8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22a58595-1e7e-45f7-8219-c50361b9fec8 10th February 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=107025294 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
