Tender description

The Lower Thames Crossing Roads, North Programme is seeking expressions of interest from suppliers with experience in reinforced concrete (FRC) and structural works. The scope is expected to include elements such as reinforced concrete foundations, abutments, retaining walls, pile caps, reinforced earth structures, bridge structures and other civil engineering works. As part of our procurement planning, we are considering a range of packaging options, including splitting the works into multiple packages. Through this PQQ, we are looking to better understand the market's capability, capacity and preferred delivery models to help inform the final procurement strategy. What We're Looking For We would like to hear from organisations with experience in one or more of the following: Reinforced concrete foundations Reinforced concrete abutments Reinforced concrete retaining walls Reinforced earth structures Pile caps and substructures Bridge and highway structures Structural concrete works Civil engineering and infrastructure projects Design, construction, supply and installation services Temporary works design and management Quality assurance, testing and commissioning We welcome responses from organisations of all sizes, including SMEs, either independently or as part of a consortium, joint venture or wider supply chain arrangement. How to Apply If you are interested in this opportunity, please complete the attached FRC Structures Package Eligibility Criteria Questionnaire and return it to the Supply Chain Team by 14.10.26 at: BBLTCProcurementandSupplyChain@balfourbeatty.com Please ensure all sections of the questionnaire are completed, as this will help us gain a full understanding of your organisation's capabilities, capacity and experience. The qualification questions have been designed to assess your ability to meet Balfour Beatty and Lower Thames Crossing supply chain requirements and will help inform the final packaging strategy for these works. As we are currently considering a number of packaging options, including smaller and specialist work packages, we are particularly interested in understanding the scale of work your organisation can deliver, your technical capabilities and your preferred delivery model. Additional information: The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is a new road to better connect Essex and Kent through a tunnel beneath the River Thames. Our purpose is to drive a change in how we deliver - connecting people to jobs and businesses to opportunities, leaving a skills legacy for the local community and construction industry, all whilst restoring nature and drawing a new blueprint for low-carbon construction. Our ambition is to deliver the UK's greenest road, and to do the right thing for local communities and the environment. We can only achieve this with the support of our supply chain, and it is therefore critical that for any supplier to be successful in winning work on LTC, they must demonstrate commitments to supporting delivery of our ambitions: • Delivering the works through a 'zero emissions' solution, and not using diesel on site in any plant or machinery. • Supporting us to leave a skills legacy for the local community, by not only recruiting locally, but upskilling your workforce to enable meaningful progression into higher paid higher skilled work. • Helping to facilitate successful opportunities by providing early careers roles, as well as inspiring young people into construction through delivery of STEM engagement.
