Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation Limited is seeking a contractor to install the precast concrete beams for Carleton Underpass, including associated ancillary works. This is bridge installation and road bridge construction work, forming part of Scheme 2 of the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project. The wider programme upgrades the A66 between the M6 and A1, including converting single-carriageway sections to dual carriageway and improving key junctions. The work is in the North West of England. The project is being delivered with Balfour Beatty, Kier and Keltbray; Kier Transportation is the buyer for this package.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline set was 5 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The planned contract period runs from 8 September 2027 to 24 February 2028. The estimated contract value is £10 million. The opportunity is presented as a single package for the Carleton Underpass beam installation and ancillary works. Kier says it will apply the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria (CAS) to establish a consistent minimum standard of business competence. Interested firms are asked to submit a company portfolio, relevant experience and references for further evaluation. The tender information gives no separate weighted scoring or other award formula.

This opportunity is aimed at established bridge installation contractors with the qualifications and practical experience to erect precast concrete beams and carry out the associated works on a road structure. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate relevant delivery through a company portfolio and references, and meet the minimum business competence assessed against the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria. It suits businesses with the technical workforce, project management and operational capacity to undertake a substantial, time-bound bridge installation package within a major highway upgrade. The notice explicitly indicates that the requirement is not suited to small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller firms may need to consider whether they can participate as specialist subcontractors rather than lead contractors.
