Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation Limited is procuring fencing works for Schemes 1 and 2 of the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project in Cumbria. The requirement covers the supply, installation, maintenance, alteration and removal of various fencing systems, including associated materials, plant, labour and ancillary works. The scope must follow the project design and construction programme, relevant standards, project specifications and health and safety requirements. This is a construction works opportunity covering fences, fencing installation, railing and safety equipment installation. The A66 project is being delivered in collaboration with Balfour Beatty, Kier and Keltbray, with Kier Transportation acting as the buying organisation for this package.

The process reached tender: Kier Transportation invited offers through an open procedure described as above-threshold. Bids had to be submitted by 21 September 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is 29 March 2027 to 3 May 2027. Its estimated value is £320,000. The requirement is presented as a single package rather than separate lots. Evaluation will include the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria, which is being used to establish consistent minimum business competence, alongside the requirements set out for the fencing works. The buyer is seeking experienced and qualified contractors, and bidders are asked to provide a company portfolio, relevant experience and references for further evaluation.

This opportunity suits an established fencing contractor able to deliver a short, project-specific construction package in Cumbria at infrastructure-project scale. Relevant capability includes installing, maintaining, altering and removing different fencing systems, and supplying the necessary materials, plant, labour and supporting works. Suppliers should be able to work to detailed designs and construction programmes, comply with applicable technical standards and health and safety requirements, and coordinate delivery within a major road project involving Tier 1 contractors. Kier will apply the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria as a minimum business-competence test. A credible portfolio, directly relevant experience and suitable client references will therefore be important when seeking to bid. The stated suitability is for neither SMEs nor VCSEs.
