Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation is procuring works for illuminated traffic signs and street signs on Schemes 1 and 2 of the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project. The requirement supports the upgrade of the A66, including converting single-lane sections of the 80-kilometre route between the M6 and A1 into dual carriageway and improving key junctions. The tender description also refers to associated street lighting works, so suppliers should review the detailed requirements carefully. Delivery is in the North West of England. The wider project is being delivered in collaboration with Balfour Beatty, Kier and Keltbray, with Kier Transportation managing this package. This is a works opportunity suited to contractors delivering traffic-signing and related highway infrastructure works.

The procurement has reached tender: Kier Transportation invited offers through an open procedure described as above threshold. Bids were due by 18 September 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is 1 March 2027 to 30 April 2030. Its stated value is £500,000. The package covers Schemes 1 and 2 as a single requirement, with delivery in the North West. Kier will use the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria to establish a consistent minimum level of business competence. Suppliers are asked to provide a portfolio, relevant experience and references for further evaluation. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published scope is categorised as works involving illuminated traffic signs and street signs.

This opportunity suits experienced highway infrastructure contractors able to deliver illuminated traffic signs, street signs and associated street-lighting works as part of a major dual-carriageway upgrade. Strong candidates will have the technical qualifications needed for traffic-signing and highway works, a portfolio demonstrating comparable projects, and references that evidence reliable delivery. Suppliers must be able to meet the minimum business competence requirements assessed through the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria. The package is appropriate for small and medium-sized enterprises with relevant specialist capability, although bidders should be able to demonstrate sufficient resources, competent personnel, operational controls and capacity to work within a large project delivered alongside Tier 1 contractors. Experience of complex road and junction improvement schemes would be particularly relevant.
