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. The scope areas for this package are as follows: - OLE Specialist Works for Manchester Airport Station Remodelling

WM Trains Limited is procuring rail depot and servicing works through one advertised works procurement structured in two contractual stages. Stage 1: PCSA Under the Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA), the contractor will complete the GRIP 5 design, further develop the design, and price the individual works packages. Stage 2: ECC Once those package prices have been developed and consolidated into a single commercial position, the project will proceed to award the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) on a lump-sum basis for GRIP stages 6 - 8. The procurement is intended to appoint a contractor for each Lot to provide Stage 1 PCSA services. Stage 2 may follow, subject to the contracting authority's decision, funding, approvals and procurement compliance requirements. The contracting authority does not commit by this notice to award Stage 2. Please note that it may not be necessary for the successful bidder for each Lot at Stage 1 to undertake all of the GRIP 5 design required for that particular Lot as some elements of the GRIP 5 design may already have been completed by tender award stage. If that is the case, it would be expected that the successful bidder would inherit any GRIP 5 design already completed for a particular Lot and then use that to inform the remainder of the GRIP 5 design required for that particular Lot. The procurement is divided into the following Lots: Lot 1 - Coventry Carriage Sidings Stabling and Servicing Facility Lot 2 - Northampton Riverside CET Lot 3 - Tyseley Road 12 Permanent Fuelling Apron Tenders may be submitted for one, more than one, or all Lots, subject to the instructions in the associated procurement documents available at https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/EHTJX59C3V.

The dates are purely draft and are a guide only ahead of the procurement commencing and may be considerably longer than stated. The start date for each Lot may vary dependent on the availability of GRIP 4 design and not all contracts may be awarded at the same time and not all ITN's issued at the same time following shortlisting at the PSQ stage.
