The tender titled "HS2 C1 ALIGN JV - Fabricated Steel Temporary Platforms" focuses on the construction of modular temporary work platforms for tunnelling operations as part of the High-Speed 2 (HS2) project in the United Kingdom. This process falls under the goods procurement category, specifically within the steel industry. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 2nd June 2021 at 14:00 BST. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 30th August 2021 and conclude by 20th December 2021, with a total estimated value of £251,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand, particularly those involved in prefabricated equipment and fabrication work within the construction and engineering sectors. Companies that specialise in modular construction, temporary structures, and those with experience in tunnelling works would be well-suited to participate. This limited procurement method encourages competitive quotations, thus fostering a diverse range of bids that can potentially enhance service delivery within the HS2 project framework. ## Notice The Supplier is requested to fabricate components for modular temporary working platform as per designers drawings and specification (to be supplied by Align JV). The platform must be able to be erected and dismantled within the tunnel environment using HIAB (or similar) to lift/move the components. Any lifting eyes/points must be clearly identified and load tested as per design drawings. The platform must be able to safely support the loadings as detailed in the design drawings. As shown the platform must be modular and be able to extend or reduce in size as per the requirements of Align JV. Any fixings used to secure the structure to the tunnel lining and invert must be of removable mechanical type so that any drilled holes can be easily caulked. Upon completion of fabrication of the structure the Supplier is to demonstrate buildability of the complete working platform prior to delivery to site either in their own workshop or by visiting site. The Supplier is to provide any training (if necessary) to Align JV operatives to enable them to subsequently erect and dismantle the working platform as the tunnelling works progress. The package will be competitively tendered and assessed against a split between commercial (price) and non-commercial/technical criteria - The intention of the Contractor that these works will be tendered as 1 enquiry, however we reserve the right to split the works and award the package to more than 1 sub-contractor. In July 2017, ALIGN (Bouygues Travaux Publics, Sir Robert McAlpine and Volker Fitzpatrick) won the significant C1 package of the UK High Speed 2 line (HS2). Lot C1 consists of 21.6km of high speed rail infrastructure in a rural environment. This will include a 3.37km viaduct, 15.75km twin-tubes tunnel and five vent shafts handling both piston effect and tunnel ventilation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3958ab76-8acd-4a7f-97a2-192ee040d2be | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | 2 Jun 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Aug 2021 - 20 Dec 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £251,000 | | 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 | ALIGN JV (BOUYGUES TRAVAUX PUBLICS, VOLKERFITZPATRICK AND SIR ROBERT MCALPINE) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 1AD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | St Pancras & Somers Town | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 14 - Mining, basic metals and related products - 43 - Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 14622000 - Steel - 43327000 - Prefabricated equipment - 45221247 - Tunnelling works - 45223822 - Prefabricated components - 45255400 - Fabrication work ## Release History - 27 May 2021 at 11:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3958ab76-8acd-4a7f-97a2-192ee040d2be ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3958ab76-8acd-4a7f-97a2-192ee040d2be 27th May 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=55744361 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
