Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation Limited is procuring highway construction works for Central Reservation Hardening – Phase 2 on the main works of the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project. The requirement covers Schemes 1 and 2 and forms part of the wider upgrade of the 80 km route between the M6 and A1, including converting single-lane sections to dual carriageway and improving key junctions. The work is classified as construction work for highways, roads, including motorway construction. Delivery is in the North West of England. The project is being delivered in collaboration with Tier 1 contractors Balfour Beatty, Kier and Keltbray, with Kier Transportation acting as the buying organisation for this requirement.

The process reached tender: Kier invited offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation, above the applicable threshold. The buyer set 22 July 2026 at 5pm as the deadline for submissions. The contract is planned to run from 1 November 2026 to 30 April 2030. Its estimated value is £850,000. The procurement covers a single requirement rather than separately described lots. The Build UK Common Assessment Criteria will be used to establish a consistent minimum level of business competence. Bidders are expected to submit company information, relevant experience, a portfolio and references for evaluation before bidding. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits established highway and motorway construction contractors with direct experience of central reservation works, hardening, road upgrades and construction within major infrastructure programmes. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the qualifications, technical competence and delivery capability needed for works on a strategic dual-carriageway project, supported by a credible portfolio and client references. The Build UK Common Assessment Criteria provides the required baseline for business competence, so firms should be prepared to evidence compliance through their relevant qualifications, systems and organisational controls. The requirement is also marked as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller specialist civil engineering and highways contractors with sufficient capacity and demonstrable experience.
