Tender: Nottingham City Council – Design, Construction and Commissioning of Rail Gantry and High-Pressure Steam Pipework

About

Nottingham City Council is seeking a contractor to deliver RIBA Stage 4 design, construct and commission a new rail gantry and associated high-pressure steam and ancillary pipework, provide associated electrical connections, and demolish and remove the existing rail gantry. The works relate to the council’s district heating system supplied by a high-pressure steam feed from Eastcroft Incinerator that serves c5,000 households and commercial customers and a private wire with c200 users; the existing steam pipe currently crosses the railway east of Nottingham Station and west of London Road and is being realigned closer to London Road to enable a proposed development to the north of the railway. A RIBA Stage 3 design has been completed and planning permission is being sought. The contractor, or a member of a group bid, must be Network Rail approved and experienced in the construction and commissioning of high-pressure steam and ancillary pipes and electrical connections, with commissioning targeted during the summer shutdown in July 2027.
