Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation Limited is procuring bored piling works for the Highgill North and South Portal Structures on the M6 Lune Gorge Scheme. The works package covers the supply and installation of permanent and temporary works for 48 permanent and two temporary bored piles, each 1,050mm in diameter and 12.1m long. The piles will be installed along the B6257 beneath the M6 carriageway, in the Lune Gorge area of England. This is a construction works opportunity in the piling sector, classified under CPV 44212400. The package includes the associated works needed to deliver the piling installation, rather than the supply of piling materials alone. The buyer is Kier Transportation Limited, acting for the infrastructure scheme.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation, described as above threshold. The deadline for submissions was 3 August 2026 at 5:00pm. The contract period was set to run from 1 March 2027 to 30 October 2027. The estimated contract value is between £100,000 and £400,000, in GBP. The evaluation approach includes the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria (CAS), which will be used to establish consistent minimum business competence. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The work is presented as a single bored piling package for the portal structures on the M6 Lune Gorge Scheme.

This opportunity suits experienced piling contractors able to design, manage and deliver bored piling packages, including both permanent and temporary works. Suppliers need the plant, specialist workforce and operational capacity to install large-diameter, 12.1m piles in a constrained infrastructure environment. Delivery requires capability in working with headroom of 6 to 10 metres, on a working platform with a 1:10 gradient, beside a live B-road and near a Network Rail asset. Businesses should be able to demonstrate the qualifications and competence required by the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria, supported by a relevant company portfolio, comparable project experience and client references. The package may suit suitably qualified SMEs with this specialist civil engineering capability.
