## Summary

London Gateway Port Limited, a private utility entity, has issued a tender for the construction of the BOXBAY Main Works at London Gateway in the UK, specifically in the UKH32 region. This extensive project involves the creation of a high-bay automated empty container storage facility, including demolition, substructure, superstructure, and infrastructure works. The procurement process is currently in the tender update stage, having commenced on 1st April 2026, with the expression of interest deadline extended to 15th May 2026. The competitive flexible procedure includes stages like RFI submission, tender rounds, and final evaluation until an award notice is issued by 13th July 2026. The procurement adheres to competitive principles with technical and commercial criteria set at 40% and 60%, respectively.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in structural steel erection and construction-related areas due to the large-scale nature of the BOXBAY facility works, which include structural steel fabrication and installation of complex civil engineering structures. Ideal contenders would include companies with capabilities in heavy-duty civil construction, steel fabrication, and advanced construction technology, especially those experienced in working within operational port constraints. The project value is £36 million, focusing on delivering innovative storage solutions, thus attracting entities looking to expand their portfolio in delivering state-of-the-art infrastructure projects. Suitable suppliers can gain long-term growth by establishing partnerships with London Gateway or enhancing their market presence through involvement in such a landmark project.

## Notice

The BOXBAY Works at the existing MT Park area of London Gateway comprise the demolition of existing below-ground services and the construction of the substructure, superstructure and associated infrastructure required to deliver the BOXBAY automated high-bay empty container storage facility. The works will be undertaken within the constraints of an operational port terminal. The proposed structure will have approximate plan dimensions of 323 m in length and 159 m in width and will rise to approximately 55 m above ground level. The substructure works include the removal of existing underground services and the construction of the below-ground structural, civil and services infrastructure required to form the foundation platform for BOXBAY. The works include the installation of in excess of 5,000 precast piles, nominally 28 m in length, to support an approximately 1.2 m deep reinforced concrete raft foundation. The scope also includes the installation of below-ground services infrastructure, including stormwater drainage systems, electrical service infrastructure, earthing systems, potable water supply and firewater networks. External civil works form part of the project and include the construction of heavy-duty pavements, kerbs and the installation of associated road furniture. Minor building works are also included, comprising the construction of a single-storey masonry office/store building and two concrete-framed, double-storey e-house/transformer buildings. The principal superstructure works include the fabrication, supply and erection of in excess of 15,000 tonnes of structural steelwork, together with approximately 50,000 m2 of external side cladding and a siphonic roof drainage system for 46,500 m2 of roof sheeting. The works also include the construction and installation of two lift cores, six external staircases and 3,0 km of rail for 15 storage retrieval machines (SRM). SRM's supplied by others. The scope further includes internal building services such as fire detection and fire prevention systems, ventilation, thermal insulation, power distribution, IT infrastructure, internal lighting and lightning protection systems.
