Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Kier Transportation Limited, is focused on the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project (NTP) - Schemes 1 & 2 Tree and Vegetation Clearance Phase 2. This tender falls under the 'Demolition, site preparation, and clearance work' industry category, with additional services related to tree-clearing and tree-cutting. The location for this project is the North West region of the United Kingdom. Currently at the tender stage, the process is active and interested eligible contractors must submit their bids by 19th June 2026. This project employs a selective procurement method, specifically a competitive procedure with negotiation above the threshold, and the contract period is expected to run from 26th October 2026 to 26th March 2027.
