Tarmac Construction is favourite to win an £80 million
contract to refit Number 9 dock at Devonport Royal Dockyard in
Plymouth.
Contract Journal understands that although no contract has been signed as yet, the client, Devonport Management, is now only holding talks with Tarmac.
Bids by Taylor Woodrow and Balfour Beatty have been ruled out pending the successful conclusion of discussions with Tarmac.
Tenders submitted by Kvaerner Construction and Laing/Amec were eliminated earlier in the bidding process.
The project is part of a £350 million redevelopment of the dockyard to allow the refitting and refuelling of the UK's nuclear powered Trident submarine fleet.
The contract involves strengthening the walls of Number 9 Dock to make it earthquake-proof and comprises a mix of civil engineering and building work.
