The project focuses on the remodelling of the station at Manchester Airport to accommodate longer train services, which includes adding or extending multiple platforms and providing a new turnback facility. This initiative is part of the Cross Manchester Capacity and Reliability Improvement Study, aiming to boost capacity and resilience in the Manchester area. The tender process is currently active, with the tender period ending on 28th February 2025. The contract period will commence on 30th June 2026 and conclude on 30th April 2029. The procurement process is in the Tender stage, with a total project value estimated between £250,000 and £500,000. This tender offers significant opportunities for companies involved in large-scale infrastructure and surfacing works. Businesses with expertise in railway platform development, particularly those capable of handling complex remodelling projects, will find this contract valuable for growth and portfolio expansion. The project requires robust technical capabilities and experience in working within high-capacity transport environments, making it well-suited for larger construction firms or consortia specialising in transport infrastructure. Engaging in this tender could enhance visibility and credibility in the transport infrastructure sector, particularly within the United Kingdom and potentially extending to international markets. ## 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." ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aebe7481-b1ef-475a-afac-361a58e37918 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 28 Feb 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Jun 2026 - 30 Apr 2029 | | 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 - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45233251 - Resurfacing works ## Release History - 17 Feb 2025 at 11:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aebe7481-b1ef-475a-afac-361a58e37918 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aebe7481-b1ef-475a-afac-361a58e37918 17th February 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=90592631 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
