Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation Limited is procuring road barrier and vehicle restraint system works for Schemes 1 and 2 of the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Scheme. The requirement covers the installation and associated delivery of vehicle restraint systems, including safety barriers, as road infrastructure works. Delivery is in the North West of England. The A66 project is being delivered in collaboration with three Tier 1 contractors: Balfour Beatty, Kier and Keltbray. Kier Infrastructure intends to engage contractors to carry out these works as part of the wider scheme. This opportunity is suited to businesses specialising in road safety barriers, vehicle restraint systems, highway construction and related civil engineering works.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation for a contract above the applicable threshold. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 28 July 2026 at 5:00 pm. The contract period is from 20 August 2027 to 26 March 2028. Its estimated value is £450,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement is classified as works and is intended to cover the requirement across Schemes 1 and 2. Evaluation will take place through the competitive procedure with negotiation. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The tender concerns road barriers and safety barriers.

This opportunity suits experienced and qualified contractors able to deliver vehicle restraint system and barrier works on a major highway project. Kier requires evidence of relevant capability through a company portfolio, examples of comparable experience and references. Businesses should be able to demonstrate the technical competence, workforce and operational capacity needed to deliver works across two A66 schemes and coordinate with Tier 1 contractors. The buyer will use the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria to establish a consistent minimum level of business competence, so suppliers should be prepared to meet the relevant assessment requirements. Specialist road safety barrier, vehicle restraint, highway construction or civil engineering contractors, including suitable SMEs, are the clearest fit.
