This initiative includes installing a switch kiosk, complete with a base and related ducting. The procurement is conducted under a selective methodology within the Construction Works category, relevant to pipelines, communication, and power lines, with work taking place in the North East of the United Kingdom. Prospective contractors can submit their interest and qualifications before the tender closing date on 19th January 2026, 17:00 GMT. The project, valued at £30,000, has its contract period slated to commence on 1st March 2026 and conclude by 30th March 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in siteworks and construction, especially those with experience in large-scale infrastructure projects. As it involves competitive negotiation, it is beneficial for businesses with a robust portfolio and relevant references that meet the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria. While the process is not particularly directed at SMEs or VCSEs, well-established construction firms with relevant expertise can capitalise on this opportunity by collaborating with prominent industry partners like Balfour Beatty, Kier, and Aureos in the project delivery. Companies interested in this venture are encouraged to provide their portfolios and demonstrate relevant experience to Kier Transportation for assessment.
