The procurement process is in the tender stage and was published on 10 March 2026, with the tender period closing on 17 March 2026. The works are applicable to locations such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and Europe, primarily focusing on civil works at various airport areas. Procurement for this large-scale service, worth between £10,000,000 and £20,000,000 GBP, is conducted through a selective method using a call-off from a framework agreement. The project will start on 1 October 2026 and continue until 1 October 2031. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses experienced in civil and electrical engineering services, particularly those skilled in working within regulated and controlled environments such as airports. Companies adept in excavation, concrete cutting, steel structures, and trench installation could see considerable growth. While the procurement is selective, businesses with the capability to manage complex regulatory processes and operate competitively both airside and landside at airports are encouraged to participate. Given the scope and delivery requirements, larger firms with robust operational methodologies will likely find the tender advantageous, although the procurement does not show a particular suitability for SMEs or VCSEs. ## Notice Scope of Works UK Power Network Services Limited are seeking contractors to undertake Airside civils, and minor construction works across its airport contracts. The Contractor shall be expected to carry out the Services in part of the airport areas shown on the diagram. Contractors are required to provide design, supply of materials and installation as instructed. Airport Operations: The civils and minor works requirements at airports have been divided into airside and landside areas. The airside area includes all parts of the airport around the aircraft, and the parts of the buildings that are only accessible to passengers and staff whilst inside the protected airport land. The landside area is the part of an airport farthest from the aircraft, the boundary of which is the security check, customs, and passport control alongside works, which may require local council approvals such as access roads and local airport businesses. In contrast, the landside area is open to the public, while access to the airside area is tightly controlled. Working within airside requires specific airside passes, scrutiny, safety checks and airport regulatory processes. Due to the nature and complexity of services delivery, this proposal is mainly focused on the civils and minor works requirements which can operate airside however will allow of landside works should the contractor be competitive. The main activities will include as below, except where stated the contractor shall include provision of all materials and services within the commercial pricing for the tender. Works will be comprised of planned and unplanned works. * Provision of general civil services: * Excavations * Removal and backfill * Excavations and installation of cable ducts, trenches and pits * Substation Bases * Concrete Cutting * Steel Structures * Cast Concrete Bases, * Pit, Ducts and Trench, * Traditional Brick Structures * Vac-Ex ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f50f0d9e-5baa-49cb-abac-b3b9311561ea | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 17 Mar 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2026 - 1 Oct 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000,000 | | 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 | UK POWER NETWORKS SERVICES | | Locality | HOUNSLOW | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW6 3SY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI74 Harrow and Hillingdon | | Local authority | Hillingdon | | Electoral ward | Heathrow Villages | | Westminster constituency | Hayes and Harlington | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 43 - Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 43300000 - Construction machinery and equipment - 43310000 - Civil engineering machinery - 43320000 - Construction equipment - 44100000 - Construction materials and associated items - 45000000 - Construction work - 45200000 - Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work - 45210000 - Building construction work - 45500000 - Hire of construction and civil engineering machinery and equipment with operator - 71311000 - Civil engineering consultancy services - 71311100 - Civil engineering support services - 71322000 - Engineering design services for the construction of civil engineering works ## Release History - 10 Mar 2026 at 16:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f50f0d9e-5baa-49cb-abac-b3b9311561ea ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f50f0d9e-5baa-49cb-abac-b3b9311561ea 10th March 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=108710344 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
