Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aureos Highways Limited is procuring dry stone wall construction for the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Scheme 3A project between Penrith and Temple Sowerby. The requirement is classified as masonry and bricklaying work and falls within the works category. Delivery is in the North West of England. The work is part of a major highways scheme and is focused specifically on constructing dry stone walls rather than general road construction. Businesses specialising in traditional or contemporary dry stone walling, masonry, bricklaying and associated highway works may therefore find the opportunity relevant. The named buying organisation is Aureos Highways Limited, which is managing the requirement for the A66 scheme. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: Aureos Highways Limited invited offers through a limited competitive quotation process below the public procurement threshold. Bids were due by 19 August 2026 at 23:59. The planned contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 27 August 2027. The estimated contract value is £100,000. The requirement is a single dry stone wall construction package for the A66 Scheme 3A project, with delivery in the North West. The stated method is a competitive quotation rather than an open tender. The published information identifies the work category and scope, but does not set out a separate award weighting or evaluation formula. This is therefore a relatively focused, below-threshold works opportunity for a specialist contractor.

This opportunity suits contractors with practical capability in dry stone wall construction and related masonry or bricklaying work. Relevant suppliers are likely to have teams able to build, repair or adapt stone walls to the standards required on a major highways project, while coordinating safely around wider infrastructure works. Experience of working on transport, civil engineering or road schemes would help a bidder demonstrate that it can manage site interfaces, programme requirements and quality expectations, although the published requirement does not identify specific accreditations or qualifications. The opportunity is expressly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, making it potentially accessible to smaller specialist walling businesses as well as larger contractors. Firms operating in or able to service the North West are best placed geographically.
