Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation Limited is inviting tenders for the project titled "A66 Northern Trans-Pennine (NTP) - Schemes 1, 2, and 6 Self Drive and Operated Plant," falling under the "Construction machinery and equipment" industry category. This project is part of an effort to upgrade the A66, converting single-lane sections to dual carriageways and enhancing key junctions between the M6 and A1. Located in the North West of the United Kingdom, the procurement is currently in the Tender stage, employing a selective procurement method through a competitive procedure with negotiation. Businesses interested should note the tender period ends on 11th July 2025, and the contract is scheduled from 2nd March 2026 to 30th April 2030. This procurement represents a significant opportunity with a total value of £11 million.

This tender presents ample opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in the supply and operation of construction machinery and equipment. Although it is exclusive to larger enterprises as it does not consider SMEs, companies with the requisite experience operating in the construction and civil engineering sectors will be well-suited to compete. Working alongside Tier 1 contractors like Balfour Beatty, Kier, and Keltbray indicates potential for substantial long-term partnerships. Interested parties are encouraged to demonstrate their qualifications via the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria (CAS) and submit a portfolio and relevant references to Kier Transportation for further consideration.
