Port of Tilbury London Ltd has gone out to tender with two separate contracts to extend the facilities worth an estimated £90 million in total.
Port of Tilbury London (PoTLL) is looking for suitably accredited and demonstrably experienced contractors to design and build new port facilities for the existing Tilbury port.
The purpose of the works is to increase capacity at the port by providing new fixed and floating berthing facilities for the unloading and loading of ships and new hard standings for cargo handling, processing and storage.
The works will also include a new rail head, the construction of road and rail links to existing networks, and sundry port facility building works.
PoTLL has submitted an application to the UK Planning inspectorate for development consent for the project under the Planning Act 2008 - final determination of the application is expected in February 2019
The procurement will be split into two contracts: (1) a marine works contract, and (2) a terrestrial works contract.
