This tender involves the transportation of 1,236 precast concrete bridge slabs from Kingsbury Precast Yard in Sutton Coldfield to various laydown areas within Birmingham. Commencing in March 2026 and concluding in June 2028, the project requires expertise in road transport support services. The procurement is classified under CPV code 63712000 and represents a significant opportunity with an estimated value of £2,500,000. Interested suppliers should be aware that expressions of interest must be submitted by 10th November 2025. This tender presents a substantial business growth opportunity for firms specialising in heavy and oversized load transportation. Ideal candidates are those equipped with the capacity to manage logistics associated with large infrastructure projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, provided they can meet the requirements for transporting oversized loads, including obtaining necessary permits and handling police escorts for certain slabs. This opportunity is well-suited to businesses in the transport and logistics sector that can supply labour, equipment, and temporary works for the project’s successful execution. ## Notice A Subcontractor is required to undertake the transportation of 1236 precast concrete bridge slabs from the Kingsbury Precast Yard (Marston, Sutton Coldfield B76 0DF) to the designated laydown areas within the Sub-lot 4 area (N 13, G21, Curzon St, Birmingham B4 7X). The total volume of 1236 slabs are comprised of three main types with associated weights: * Small Slabs (647 units): 3.35m x 3.60m and approximate weight of 6.5t * Major Slabs (309 units): 3.35m x 6.5m and approximate weight of 15t * Double Slabs (280 units): 8.2m x 3.4m and approximate weight of 19t The package requires the Subcontractor to provide all necessary labour, plant, and temporary works for the delivery service, specifically: drivers, trucks, and trailers suitable for oversized loads. The Subcontractor shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary transport permits (including abnormal load notification), ensuring proper access, and lashing in accordance with the specifications and drawings of the slabs provided by the Contractor (BBV), and executing the lashing of the loads. BBV will provide its own escort vehicle for the movements. Approximately 20 slabs will require a Police escort due to having a width greater than 4 meters; the Subcontractor must ensure that the vehicles provided are suitable to meet the requirements for such escorts. The commencement date for delivery is targeted for March 2026, and the service is expected to run until June 2028. It is strongly suggested that a pre-tender meeting is undertaken with interested Bidders to ensure that all technical and logistical requirements are fully understood and align with BBV's overall program needs. Additional information: Suppliers should be aware of the scale of this project and should assess their internal capabilities to be able to carry out the intended scope of work, prior to completing this expression of interest (EOI). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/85bac173-e1ef-467a-a239-8aa9bd383132 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Oct 2025 | | Submission deadline | 10 Nov 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Apr 2026 - 16 Oct 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,500,000 | | 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 | BALFOUR BEATTY VINCI JV HS2 | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B1 2LP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services ### Codes - 44114250 - Concrete slabs - 63712000 - Support services for road transport ## Release History - 31 Oct 2025 at 15:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/85bac173-e1ef-467a-a239-8aa9bd383132 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/85bac173-e1ef-467a-a239-8aa9bd383132 31st October 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=101835165 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
