The requirement covers site surveys and visits, design and design development with stakeholders, and the approvals needed from the landlord, ASPRO and Northern Trains. The appointed contractor will supply and install the system, carry out construction, commissioning and testing, provide relevant test certification, complete handover, and produce operation and maintenance manuals. The works also include project controls and reporting. This is a rail infrastructure and platform construction opportunity, delivered at Reddish North in the United Kingdom, for a contractor able to manage the requirement from survey and design through to completed and documented handover. The procurement has reached tender: Northern Trains Limited invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot works contract under the utilities regime. The deadline for both enquiries and tender submissions was 25 September 2026 at 4:00pm British Summer Time. The contract period was set from 14 December 2026 to 31 March 2028. The estimated value is £580,000 excluding VAT, or £696,000 including VAT. Offers are evaluated equally on price and quality, with each carrying 50% of the assessment. Electronic submission is allowed. The stated submission route is the Delta E-Sourcing Portal. The buyer reserved the right not to award the contract and stated that it would not be liable for suppliers’ costs. This opportunity suits rail infrastructure, platform construction and specialist rail engineering contractors with the capability to undertake integrated design-and-build works. Relevant suppliers will need to coordinate site surveys and visits, develop the design with stakeholders, and manage landlord consent, ASPRO approval and Northern Trains approval processes. Delivery capability must extend beyond installation and construction to commissioning, testing, certification, handover and preparation of operation and maintenance manuals. Contractors should also be able to provide project controls and reporting throughout the work. The requirement is therefore suited to businesses with experience managing safety-conscious railway asset alterations, coordinating multiple approvals, and retaining technical and project records through to completion. Firms able to deliver both the physical platform works and the associated design, assurance and documentation are best placed to compete. ## Notice Improvement of the stepping distance with a proprietor overlay system at Reddish Platform 2 and associated platform asset alterations.
