Description

Initial proposals for this temporary bridge took the form of a conventional steel temporary bridge on sheet pile abutments although due to the heavy use, long duration and significant interface risks we think a precast portal structure may be more appropriate and would like to investigate this. We require: Preparation of Outline Design Proposal, Detail design, manufacture, Supply (buy or hire), install and remove (buy back).This temporary bridge will support 4-lane carriageway of the M25 over Railway Line. This temporary M25 diversion and temporary bridge will facilitate the two stage construction of the permanent bridge allowing the LTC to pass under the existing M25 carriageway. How to Apply: Please complete the attached Eligibility Criteria PQQ. Kindly ensure all sections are fully completed, as incomplete submissions may not be considered for the next stage of the process. Additional information: The following questions are designed as 'Qualification Questions' to assess your organisations ability to meet Balfour Beatty's and Lower Thames Crossing's supply chain requirements requirements for the M25 Temporary Precast Bridge Works. Please note this is by no means a guarantee of any work. 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.
