£500M Manchester Airport contracts up for grabs

Manchester Airport is inviting business to bid for contracts worth up to £500M, as part of the airport’s ten-year transformation programme.

Interest parties are asked to complete a pre-qualification questionnaire ahead of the main invitation to tender for the works. Interested businesses will need to demonstrate that they have had an annual turnover in excess of £750m over the last three years.

A contract notice has been issued for the Terminal Two transformation phase and includes the design and construction of an extension to the existing building that will its current size more than double.

The proposed works include a new baggage factory; piers, terminal extension and upgrade of existing forecourt; associated access roads; alterations to the existing terminal; new multi-storey car parks; site clearance and associated services diversion.

Manchester is the UK’s third largest airport. With two runways, it has significant capacity for growth and already serves over 70 airlines and in excess of 210 short and long haul destinations.

Brad Miller, Manchester Airport Transformation Programme (MAN-TP) Director, said: “After a successful launch in June this year and an extensive consultation period it is exciting to enter the next phase of the project.

“This contract notice and invitation to participate, is the single biggest element of the whole £1bn project that spans ten years, and we are expecting to see a range of high calibre companies put their names forward.

“Over the next decade, the airport will continue to develop as a global gateway for the UK, directly to and from the North, and these enhancements will enable us to further adapt, modernise and transform the customer service experience we are able to offer.”
