Airport launches 拢75m design and planning frameworks for new runway
Gatwick has launched three new design and planning frameworks worth 拢75m as it calls on consultants to help it prepare for a new runway.
The airport is seeking expressions of interest for the frameworks, with winning bidders automatically eligible for a 拢200m design framework if the government chooses a second runway at Gatwick.
The three frameworks are airport planning services; architectural, structural and building services design and engineering for projects less than 拢5m; and multi-discipline design and engineering for projects greater than 拢5m.
The airport planning services framework incorporates key infrastructure planning associated with the second runway, and is estimated between 拢3-5m. It will include architectural and engineering services, urban planning, landscape engineering, technical consulting and analysis.
The two design frameworks are for both lower complexity design work for projects up to 拢5m and higher complexity design work for projects above 拢5m, and include architectural, civil and structural engineering, and mechanical and electrical design services.
Gatwick鈥檚 development director Raymond Melee said: 鈥淭he publication of three new frameworks sends a clear message to the industry that Gatwick has a pipeline of major construction work that will satisfy all types of construction industry partners.鈥�
He added: 鈥淲ith frameworks spanning a five year time-frame, it鈥檚 important that potential partners in the runway build are included in these frameworks so that we can keep the process moving forward.鈥�
