UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

BBVJV are seeking to identify sub-contractors who have the expertise and experience to widen & reconstruct an existing access into an enlarged site access for the Duddeston Junction Viaduct - Freightliner section of site. This site entrance is referred to as "Gate N13 G9". The site is a former Network Rail depot with an existing surfaced access road from the public highway, Duddeston Mill Road. BBV need to reconstruct this access to be wider to allow heavy-duty vehicles & plant to utilise the site entrance.

Balfour Beatty VINCI (BBV) have been awarded HS2 main works civils contracts for the Area North project in the West Midlands. BBV require a supplier to deliver random Drug and Alcohol testing and laboratory service across Area North. A minimum of 10% of the workforce shall be randomly tested across Area North each year, with a planned schedule to ensure all sublots are consistently tested throughout the year. The workforce is estimated to be around 10,000 workers each year. The successful supplier will be responsible for planning and managing the random testing schedule, coordinating with named contacts at each location to arrange the random testing. Given the size of the project, locations being geographically remote, and BBV not being able to guarantee a suitable 'on-site' space for random testing, the successful supplier should be able to provide mobile unit(s) for random testing, that can be utilised across the project. BBV also require a supplier to be 'on-call' 24 hours a day to complete 'for-cause' testing. The successful supplier should be able to attend any BBV location within 2 hours to complete 'for-cause' testing. The successful supplier must be able to provide competent collection technicians for D&A testing. Drug and Alcohol Chain of Custody training is required, and the successful supplier will be required to deliver both drug and alcohol testing training to BBV colleagues and be able to provide the necessary equipment for this testing to be delivered onsite by BBV colleagues, including yearly calibration of the equipment. The successful supplier will be required to produce detailed monthly MI, providing an overview of D&A testing that month across the project, as well as being able to provide sublot specific D&A MI. This will also include a requirement for laboratory services. The supplier's laboratory must have ISO 9001: 2005 quality certificate accredited by UKAS and be approved for gas and liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry for confirmation of results. The laboratory must be able to provide expert toxicology analysis and opinion.

The Balfour Beatty VINCI Joint Venture HS2 delivering HS2 Area North is looking to outsource the end-to-end administration, coordination and and delivery of the competency requirements managed through Sentinel, the Rail Industry Authority to Work system run by Network Rail. The training and competency requirements will be delivered in accordance with the rail industry standards This package relates to the administration, coordination delivery and maintenance of training and accreditations provided to identified staff where there is a requirement to work in a rail environment. This document describes the scope of work BBV are looking to outsource and will be used as part of an initial enquiry to rail competency vendors. BBV are interested in hearing from vendors, as to how they would engage with the project team and accurately deliver the requirements outlined within this document throughout the project lifecycle. Due to the variety of different rail competency requirements included within the scope of works it is anticipated that itemised rates would be provided to cover each aspect of the scope.

BBV has developed its delivery strategy around several sub-lots across the Area North route, which encompasses both Sectors N1 and N2. We require a Contractor who can offer a comprehensive waste water management solution comprising the collection and disposal of hazardous and non hazardous wastewater. Additionally, an electronic waste management system is required to support our delivery strategy. The complex nature of Area North in terms of geography, scope and scale has informed our packaging strategy for these works. We have divided Area North into 6 distinct geographical packages which align with sub-lot delivery strategies and approximately 59 compounds (subject to change) plus operational works areas requiring waste disposal services. The Contractor will provide BBV with fully comprehensive waste water management including: assistance with testing and classification, collection and disposal of both hazardous and non-hazardous wastewater, and duty of care documentation. The Contractor will produce and complete electronic waste transfer notes/or consignment notes for each waste movement. The Contractor will maintain an electronic ordering and data management system with API functionality to transfer data to BBV. An online electronic waste management system is required to allow instant access to consignment notes or waste transfer notes, facility and waste carrier licences and permits, along with any other compliance information.

The scope of the requirement is to implement a video streaming service that negates the need for "Power Laptops" for the Stakeholder Engagement team to use in their engagement sessions to run the UE4 & UE5 application created by the design team. The connectivity at venues for these sessions is not guaranteed and therefore, the streaming service should offer good performance via 4G connection.
