The project, located in the North West of the United Kingdom, involves the design and delivery of an East facing turnback near Salford Central Station to improve capacity and resilience in the Manchester area. The tender is currently active and is in the tender stage, with a submission deadline of 20th September 2024 at 17:00. The contracting period is expected to run from 27th January 2025 to 31st October 2025. This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity for companies specialising in landscaping work and landscape gardening services. The extensive scope and substantial budget of the project will likely attract businesses with expertise in railway infrastructure enhancements and large-scale devegetation projects. Companies that can deliver fully electrified, well-signalled railway solutions and have experience in managing projects that aim to boost public transport capacity and reliability will be well-suited to compete for this tender. ## Notice This is an enhancement scheme funded by the DfT and is part of a package of proposed measures in the Manchester area that are planned to boost capacity and resilience, emanating from the Cross Manchester Capacity and Reliability Improvement Study. The scheme is for the design and delivery of an East facing turnback, located on the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Line (ELR: MVE1) adjacent to the existing Salford Hope Street (Cemex) sidings between Salford Central Station and the Oldfield Road Bridge. At Victoria Station, the through platforms also accommodate terminating trains. The extended time to terminate and turnback in the platforms restricts platform availability for through services. The provision of the turnback siding will allow terminating services from the East arriving at Victoria to clear the platform, travel to the turnback siding and await their next turn of duty, clear of the station. There is the further benefit of an additional stop at Salford Central Station for passengers to disembark for Manchester Spinningfields, a major employment location in the city centre. The turnback would also act as a service recovery measure during times of service perturbation. The turnback is to consist of two roads, to accommodate trains up to 8 car x 24m in one road and 6 car x 24m in a second road; with access to and from platforms 3-6 at Manchester Victoria via existing connections. The new east facing turnback shall also be able to operate as a berthing/storage siding, with walking routes to allow train crew to access and egress the railway. The turnback will be fully electrified at 25kV and be fully signalled as a route for planned, rather than simply emergency, usage. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab4e4e29-ec49-480f-bb46-df85d51799e1 | | 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 | 13 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 20 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Jan 2025 - 31 Oct 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 INFRASTRUCTURE AND OVERSEAS - 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 - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45112700 - Landscaping work - 71421000 - Landscape gardening services ## Release History - 13 Sep 2024 at 13:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab4e4e29-ec49-480f-bb46-df85d51799e1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab4e4e29-ec49-480f-bb46-df85d51799e1 13th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=85142760 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
