## Description
Nottingham City Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced contractor for a scheme covering the following elements:
•	RIBA Stage 4 design of a new rail gantry and associated pipework.
•	Construction of a new rail gantry and associated pipework.
•	Commissioning of new pipework and associated electrical connections.
•	Demolition and removal of the existing rail gantry.
Nottingham City Council operates a district heating system from its London Road Heat Station.  The system serves c5,000 households and commercial customers with heat and hot water, alongside a private wire with c200 domestic and business users. The main energy supply to the heat station is from a high-pressure steam feed from the nearby Eastcroft Incinerator.
The steam is fed through a pipe which crosses the railway by a gantry to the east of Nottingham Station and west of London Road. The Authority has been asked to move the existing gantry to align closer to London Road to allow a proposed development to take place on the site shown to the north of the railway.
A RIBA Stage Three design has been undertaken and planning permission for the scheme is being sought.
The contractor, or a member of their consortium for group bids, will need to be a Network Rail approved contractor and have experience in the construction and commissioning of high-pressure steam and other ancillary pipes and electrical connections.
The commissioning of the new pipes is targeted to take place during the summer shutdown in July 2027.
