This entails urban railway track construction works to introduce longer train services. The project is planned in the North West region and other global addresses, and it forms part of the Manchester and North West Transformation Programme. The tender was published on 17th February 2025 and is currently in the tender stage, with a closing date for submissions on 28th February 2025. The contract is set to start on 30th June 2026 and end on 30th April 2029, with an estimated value ranging from £2,500,000 to £5,000,000. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in urban railway track construction. The remodelling and capacity enhancement of the Manchester Airport Station platforms will cater to the strategic aims of Network Rail and other industry stakeholders. Companies with expertise in large-scale infrastructure projects will find this contract especially suitable, though it is noted that this opportunity may not be specifically targeted towards small or voluntary sector enterprises. Successful bidders will have the opportunity to play a crucial role in improving Manchester's transport infrastructure, potentially leading to further project engagements in the future. ## 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/dcc765bb-785d-4e7c-8fd6-50b63653dc9b | | 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 | £5,000,000 | | 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 - 45234116 - Track construction works - 45234129 - Urban railway track construction works ## Release History - 17 Feb 2025 at 09:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcc765bb-785d-4e7c-8fd6-50b63653dc9b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcc765bb-785d-4e7c-8fd6-50b63653dc9b 17th February 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=90592744 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
