Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation Limited is procuring street-lighting works for Schemes 1 and 2 of the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine upgrade. The scope covers street-lighting equipment, including lighting columns and street lamps, for an 80 km road improvement programme between the M6 and the A1. The wider project will convert single-lane sections to dual carriageway and improve key junctions. Delivery is in the North West of England. The works form part of the A66 project being delivered collaboratively by Balfour Beatty, Kier and Keltbray. This is a construction and infrastructure opportunity for contractors able to install or deliver road and highway lighting as part of a major transport scheme.

The procurement has reached tender: Kier invited offers through an open procedure above the applicable threshold. Interested contractors were asked to submit their company portfolio, relevant experience and references by email to infrastructure.procurement@kier.co.uk. The buyer set the offer deadline at 15 September 2026 at 5:00 pm. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 February 2027 to 30 April 2030. Its estimated value is £300,000. The requirement is classified as works, with the procurement covering street-lighting equipment, columns and lamps. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation will include the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria as the minimum business competence standard.

This opportunity suits experienced, qualified street-lighting and highway-infrastructure contractors, particularly SMEs with a track record of delivering lighting works on major roads or transport schemes. Businesses should be able to demonstrate relevant technical competence and provide a company portfolio, evidence of comparable experience and suitable references. The Build UK Common Assessment Criteria will be used to establish a consistent minimum level of business competence, so suppliers should be prepared to meet that assessment standard. Contractors familiar with road construction environments, lighting columns, lamps and associated equipment will be well placed to compete. The collaborative A66 delivery model also offers relevance for firms accustomed to working alongside Tier 1 infrastructure contractors and managing complex highway projects.
