Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation Limited is seeking contractors for traffic signal works on Schemes 1 and 2 of the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine upgrade. The package concerns installation of traffic signals and traffic monitoring equipment as part of a wider road improvement project, which will upgrade single-carriageway sections of the 80km route between the M6 and the A1 to dual carriageway and improve key junctions. The A66 project is being delivered in collaboration with Balfour Beatty, Kier and Keltbray. Work is in the North West of England. This is a civil engineering and highways works opportunity for contractors able to deliver traffic signal infrastructure within a major road scheme.

Kier invited offers through an open procedure, reaching the tender stage. The stated estimated value is £400,000. The buyer set a submission deadline of 23 October 2026 at 5pm. The contract period is scheduled to run from 1 June 2027 to 30 April 2030. The package covers Schemes 1 and 2; no separate lot arrangement is described. Companies are asked to provide a portfolio, relevant experience and references for further evaluation. The Build UK Common Assessment Criteria (CAS) will be used to assess a consistent minimum level of business competence. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The project forms part of the wider A66 upgrade, alongside other works being delivered by the three Tier 1 contractors.

This opportunity is suited to experienced, qualified traffic-signal contractors with the capability to work on a major highways upgrade. Relevant expertise in installing traffic lights and traffic monitoring equipment is central to the package. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate relevant delivery experience through a company portfolio and references, and meet the minimum business competence requirements assessed using the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria (CAS). The buyer identifies the opportunity as suitable for SMEs, so smaller firms with the necessary qualifications and delivery capability may also be appropriate. Contractors should be prepared to work within a multi-contractor infrastructure project involving Balfour Beatty, Kier and Keltbray, and to deliver traffic signal works across two schemes on the A66 route.
