Notice Information

Notice Title

Lower Thames Crossing - Kent Roads - CCTV Drainage Survey Services

Notice Description

Skanska is looking to appoint a subcontractor to provide CCTV drainage survey services for the Lower Thames Crossing (Kent Roads) project. The selected subcontractor will be required to supply all necessary labour, plant, equipment, and survey reporting to undertake CCTV inspections of drainage networks and associated assets in accordance with the project requirements and relevant industry standards. These works form part of the initial phase of the main construction programme, known as uninterrupted construction activities. Although the majority of the work will take place off-line, certain sections will be located online within the central reservation of the A2; therefore, proven experience in major highway schemes is essential. The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is a new road to better connect Essex and Kent through a tunnel beneath the River Thames. Our purpose is to drive a change in how we deliver - connecting people to jobs, businesses to opportunities, leaving a skills legacy for the local community and championing biodiversity and low-carbon construction. To support the project ambitions, we are committed to publishing opportunities on Contracts Finder to ensure full visibility for SMEs and local subcontractors. By doing so, we widen access to the Lower Thames Crossing supply chain, encourage participation from smaller and local businesses, and help unlock regional growth. This approach ensures that organisations of all sizes can compete fairly, strengthens local economies, and maximises the benefit of investment within the communities closest to the project. Our ambition is to deliver the UK's greenest road, and to do the right thing for local communities and the environment. We can only achieve this with the support of our supply chain, and it is therefore critical that for any supplier to be successful in winning work on LTC, they must demonstrate commitments to supporting delivery of our ambitions: * Supporting LTC to leave a skills legacy for the local community. This means recruiting a local workforce and upskilling the supply chain to enable meaningful progression into higher paid, higher skilled work. * Delivering LTC with the lowest practicable carbon. This includes adoption of our "zero emissions" intent, eradication of diesel on site and promotion of alternative sustainable fuels. * Helping to create successful opportunities by providing early careers roles, such as apprenticeships, and inspiring young people into construction through delivery of STEM engagement. The operatives involved in the works shall be competent with relevant qualifications and competency cards (CSCS) and have a Highway Passport.
