This project, located in the North West of the United Kingdom, falls under the "Works" category, specifically involving construction work for railways and cable transport systems, as well as the installation of points heating systems. The tender is currently active with significant milestones, including the procurement stage being in the "Tender" phase. The deadline for the submission of tenders is set for 13 October 2025, with the contract period running from 18 May 2026 to 31 July 2026. The minimum contract value is £50,000, and it could reach up to £100,000. This project, part of the DfT-funded enhancement scheme, seeks to improve the operational flexibility at Manchester Victoria station by designing and implementing a new turnback facility. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in railway infrastructure, electrical and power distribution systems, and particularly those manufacturing or installing points heating systems. Companies in the North West or those with the capability to operate within the UK and its associated territories will find this project particularly beneficial for growth. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given their capability to deliver specialised components like connection and power distribution cables. Such businesses will gain the advantage of enhancing their portfolio with a government-funded project, potentially leading to further opportunities within the rail and transport infrastructure sectors. The collaboration and networking potential with a prominent buyer like Kier Infrastructure further enhances business development prospects. ## 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. E&P Scope of Work: The supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the point heating system. This includes, but is not limited to: Mains Distribution equipment, 230v and 110v LV cabling, Heater strips, Heat retainers, Clamp lock heaters, TCBs', PHT's and associated controls. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3125f6b4-21da-41fc-a4ed-3842899c4140 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Oct 2025 | | Submission deadline | 13 Oct 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 May 2026 - 31 Jul 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 31224400 - Connection cables - 31320000 - Power distribution cables - 34944000 - Points heating system - 45234000 - Construction work for railways and cable transport systems ## Release History - 7 Oct 2025 at 07:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3125f6b4-21da-41fc-a4ed-3842899c4140 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3125f6b4-21da-41fc-a4ed-3842899c4140 7th October 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=100778093 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
