Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation Limited is procuring metalwork services for the replacement of 14 motorway bridges on the M6 at Lune Gorge. The scope covers all associated metalwork, including galleries on each bridge structure and the reinstallation of stairways and steps to current regulations. This is a construction works requirement, covering bridge-related construction and metalworking. Delivery is at the M6 Lune Gorge location. The opportunity is intended for an experienced and qualified metalwork supplier able to undertake work across multiple motorway bridge structures. The requirement may suit specialist structural metalwork, bridgework, access systems and construction engineering firms, including small and medium-sized enterprises with the relevant capability and project experience.

The procurement has reached tender: Kier invited suppliers to submit offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation, above the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer was 18 August 2026 at 17:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 July 2027 to 2 November 2027. Its stated value is £500,000. The buyer will use the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria as a consistent minimum business competence standard. Suppliers were asked to provide a company portfolio, relevant experience and references for further evaluation. This is a single requirement for the metalwork associated with the bridge replacements, rather than separately described lots. The procurement category is works.

This opportunity suits established metalwork and bridge-construction suppliers with demonstrable experience delivering comparable infrastructure projects. Relevant strengths include designing, fabricating, installing or reinstating structural metalwork, bridge galleries, stairways and steps, together with the ability to work to current regulatory requirements. Suppliers should be able to evidence their competence through a company portfolio, relevant project experience and client references. The Build UK Common Assessment Criteria means bidders need to meet recognised minimum standards of business competence and should be prepared to provide supporting qualification and compliance information. The scale and multi-structure scope favour firms with sufficient skilled labour, supervision, fabrication or supply-chain capacity, and the operational controls needed to deliver coordinated motorway bridge works.
