Early Works – Civils, Infrastructure, Buildings & MEP and Earthworks

This work package covers key enabling activities required to prepare the site for main construction. It includes the design (from RIBA 4 Stage) and delivery of, ground related enabling activities required to prepare the site for construction, including species relocation, remediation servies, site clearance, site establishment, construction utilities, and supporting infrastructure—such as drainage and haul roads to support bulk earthworks. Together, these early work establish correct ground levels, and create safe access rotes for subsequent phases, and will provide the foundational physical platform needed to de‑risk, mobilise, and accelerate the main works programme. GBE-N had previously considered spllitting these packages into two, but has decised to consolidate into one package to minimise interface risk.

*The positions and timelines presented are based on current information and assumptions. As programme maturity develops and further validation is undertaken, scope, dates, values and sequencing may change.*

This UK1 Pipeline notice has been updated to include the Early Works - Civils procurement, now delivering both Civils and Earthworks under one procurement. This now reflects the pipeline published on the GBE-N website:
