Gatwick Airport has launched two major frameworks worth 拢750m for improvements to the airport over the next five years.

The frameworks - covering small and medium-sized projects respectively - will be used to deliver building, civil engineering and M&E services to support the airport鈥檚 capital investment programme.

The first 鈥榣ow complexity鈥� tender covers projects worth up to 拢1.5m, while the 鈥榤edium complexity鈥� framework covers projects worth up to 拢10m and is expected to be worth 拢600m over five years. The tenders are thought to be the first of four forthcoming tenders to be issued by Gatwick.

Within each framework, three lots will be awarded for building, civil engineering and M&E work.

The low complexity framework has a build value of 拢40m-拢60m, civil engineering packages worth 拢30m-拢45m and M&E work worth between 拢30m-拢45m.

The medium framework has a build value of approximately 拢160m-拢240m, civil engineering packages worth between 拢120m-拢180m and M&E projects with a total value of 拢120m-拢180m.

The frameworks are expected to be in place by the end of the first quarter of 2016.

A more complex major works framework, involving contracts potentially greater than 拢10m, and a separate framework for design consultancy services, will be the subject of separate procurement processes, with details made available by Gatwick later in 2015.

Lee Hewitt, head of capital procurement at Gatwick Airport said: 鈥淭he major works will help Gatwick to deliver on the next phase of our transformation which has already seen over 拢1bn invested since Gatwick entered private ownership in 2009.鈥�

Gatwick is planning a 拢1bn transformation programme, including reconfiguring and refurbishing its North Terminal.

A more comprehensive redevelopment of Gatwick - which would include building a second runway - is on standby while the government decides how to respond to the Davies Commission on airport expansion, which recommended expansion of Gatwick鈥檚 fierce rival Heathrow.

Gatwick argue it is still in the race for a new runway - despite Davies鈥� backing of Heathrow - as government ministers are known to be split on which of the two airports鈥� plans to endorse. A government decision is due by the end of the year.
