In plain English
Balfour Beatty VINCI, the joint venture building the HS2 railway's main civil works in the North area of the West Midlands, is looking for contractors to deliver pumped drainage work, which moves water through pumps and pipes where gravity drainage won't work. This is an expression of interest to build a shortlist, and full specifications will only be shared with the suppliers they shortlist. The estimated value is between £2.5 million and £5 million.
What the buyer wants
• Submit an expression of interest showing you have experience delivering pumped drainage works on large, complex infrastructure projects. • Confirm your internal capacity, resources and capability to deliver the full scope at the scale of an HS2 civils project. • Be ready to provide references, certifications and safety and compliance evidence if shortlisted for the full specification.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
A small business without a proven track record on large-scale rail or major civils projects, and the financial strength, insurance and workforce to deliver a multi-million pound scope, would most likely be disqualified.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
