This project, part of the Lower Thames Crossing (LTC), aims to construct a temporary precast bridge to support a four-lane carriageway over a railway line as part of the M25 diversion in the South East of the United Kingdom. The industry category is primarily focused on bridge and road construction, with significant emphasis on bridge-design services. The procurement follows an open procedure and invites submissions until 18th June 2025, ensuring all preliminary qualifications are adequately met. The contract is expected to commence on 11th August 2025 and conclude by 11th August 2029, with an estimated contract value of £5,000,000. This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering, particularly those capable of delivering bridge construction and prefabricated units. Companies with a commitment to sustainability, zero emissions, and local community engagement will find themselves well-suited to this project, given the LTC's focus on delivering a green infrastructure legacy. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, provided they can demonstrate innovation in low-carbon solutions and contributions to skill development in the local area. This contract could significantly bolster a firm's portfolio by aligning with national infrastructure priorities and fostering long-term collaborations within the supply chain. ## Notice Initial proposals for this temporary bridge took the form of a conventional steel temporary bridge on sheet pile abutments although due to the heavy use, long duration and significant interface risks we think a precast portal structure may be more appropriate and would like to investigate this. We require: Preparation of Outline Design Proposal, Detail design, manufacture, Supply (buy or hire), install and remove (buy back).This temporary bridge will support 4-lane carriageway of the M25 over Railway Line. This temporary M25 diversion and temporary bridge will facilitate the two stage construction of the permanent bridge allowing the LTC to pass under the existing M25 carriageway. How to Apply: Please complete the attached Eligibility Criteria PQQ. Kindly ensure all sections are fully completed, as incomplete submissions may not be considered for the next stage of the process.
