About this tender

DB InfraGO AG, Geschäftsbereich Fahrweg, procures construction works for the Schönefeld 2027/28 complex (project no. 202601466). The scope covers the new ESTW-A Schönefeld (BFHS) interlocking, the new construction of track 5 including OLA (overhead line equipment), and the renewal of track and switches. Track 5 (740 m usable length, 4 new switches) is being reactivated and commissioned together with the ESTW. At the same time, 8 switches and about 2.5 km of track in Schönefeld station will be renewed. The tender is divided into three lots: Lot 1 covers track superstructure and cable civil works (Oberbau & Kabeltiefbau), Lot 2 covers ESTW control and signalling equipment and track 5 (Ausrüstungstechnik ESTW & Gleis 5), and Lot 3 covers the overhead line (OLA). Bidders may tender for one or more lots. The ESTW Schönefeld is a prerequisite for ETCS equipment on the Erkner-Seddin corridor. ETCS equipment itself is explicitly NOT part of this construction measure. The contract is a single-order contract (Einzelbestellung) with an order period from 05.01.2027 to 31.12.2028, roughly two years. The place of performance is 12529 Schönefeld. The procedure is an EU open procedure under the Sektorenverordnung (SektVO), and the service type is building works (Bauleistung).
