## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "Brewery Turnback - ES6-8 Devegetation Works" is being managed by Kier Infrastructure and Overseas - CP7 NWC. Categorised under site-clearance work, this tender is part of an enhancement scheme to improve operational flexibility at Manchester Victoria Train Station. The key task is the removal of existing vegetation to prepare for construction work, enhancing the station's capacity and resilience. Located in the North West of the United Kingdom, this project supports the infrastructure industry with a total value of £50,000. The tender is currently in the 'Tender' stage, with a submission deadline set for 13th October 2025. The contract period will run from 18th May 2026 to 31st July 2026.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in site-clearance work, particularly those adept in removing invasive species. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate as the procurement process values SME participation. Suitable for businesses within the construction and environmental services sectors, the project offers a chance to contribute to a significant infrastructure enhancement, promoting business growth within the region and potentially expanding their operational portfolio. The removal of vegetation and preparation of the site are crucial to this infrastructure improvement, providing a stable foundation for subsequent development activities at Manchester Victoria Train Station.

## 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. Devegetation Scope of Work: - remove the existing vegetation from the proposed footprint of construction work, including removal of invasive species - JKW.
