two.1.4) Short description

TfGM, Wigan MBC and Network Rail, have developed an option for a new Heavy railway station in Golborne, Wigan. The new station will be located on the existing electrified track infrastructure on the West Coast Mainline (WCML) near to the site of the old Golborne station. As part of the overall scheme, the new station would be served by an hourly service between Wigan North-Western and Manchester Victoria.

The Golborne project incorporates the wider Wigan masterplan scope which includes highways and public realm alterations which maximise opportunities in the adjacent car park, improved traffic flow and junctions layouts and enhanced active travel and pedestrian measures within Golborne town centre.

TfGM are the scheme promoter and have appointed WSP to complete the outline design which is due to complete in September 2024 including gaining planning permission for the scheme. TfGM are seeking to appoint a suitably experienced Main Contractor for the Detailed Design, Construction and Handover (ES 5 – 8) of the works at the agreed Golborne Station site.

A two-stage approach to the procurement (via the Restricted Procedure) and delivery of the Detailed Design to PACE ES5 and Construction Phase ES5 – ES8 is being implemented, as follows.

• First Stage: Detailed Design to ES5/Form B ‘Approved for Construction’ (AFC) status to ascertain a fixed price lump sum for the construction works. This will also include the development of value engineering options, innovation, and constructability for the delivery of the four stations based upon the completed ES4/Form A design.

• Second Stage: the period of construction, entry into service and hand back for the completed station based on the ES5/Form B approved design from the First Stage.
