## Summary

Ferrovial BAM Rail Systems is seeking road transport services to move precast concrete slab-track units for the HS2 programme. The work involves collecting slabs from the PACADAR UK factory and delivering them to multiple sites along the HS2 route. The stated requirement is approximately 12,000 slabs, or around 2,400 HGV loads, with each load carrying five slabs. Transport suppliers provide the vehicles and transport; loading at the factory and offloading at delivery sites are undertaken by others. The work is along the HS2 corridor in the United Kingdom. This is a logistics package for suppliers able to organise repeated heavy-load deliveries between a factory and multiple construction sites.

The buyer invited offers for the transport requirement through a tender. The submission deadline set was 4 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The contract period is 16–17 July 2029. The estimated value is £50,000–£100,000. The procurement is for services, and the opportunity is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers are asked to provide competitive commercial rates and set out their proposed delivery approach. Offers are to be assessed on transport capability, available fleet capacity, delivery approach and commercial rates; detailed scope, delivery requirements, indicative volumes and pricing structure are set out in the supporting procurement information.

This requirement is suited to road haulage and specialist logistics businesses with HGVs capable of safely transporting five precast slab units per load. Suppliers need to demonstrate that their fleet can meet the stated volume of repeated deliveries and that they can plan movements to multiple sites along the HS2 corridor. Experience managing heavy or awkward construction loads, complying with transport and safety requirements, and securing loads in line with load-restraint regulations will be relevant. The buyer expects a clear delivery approach and competitive rates. Because factory loading and site offloading are carried out by others, the supplier's core contribution is transport capacity, safe carriage and reliable coordination of deliveries rather than materials handling at either end.

## Notice

This opportunity supports the delivery of the HS2 programme and involves the transportation of precast concrete slab-track units from the PACADAR UK factory to multiple locations along the HS2 route. The requirement is for approximately 12,000 slabs, equating to around 2,400 HGV loads, making it a significant logistics package with a consistent volume of work. Suppliers will be required to provide suitable HGV transport capable of safely carrying five slab units per load while complying with all relevant transport, safety and load restraint regulations. Deliveries will be made to various locations along the HS2 corridor, with loading at the factory and offloading at site undertaken by others. Interested suppliers will be asked to demonstrate their transport capability, available fleet capacity and proposed delivery approach, together with competitive commercial rates. Further information on the scope, delivery requirements, indicative volumes and pricing structure is available within the attached documentation.
