Kier Transportation Limited, acting as the buying organisation, has embarked on this initiative to transform single-lane sections into dual carriageways, whilst enhancing key junctions along the 80km stretch between the M6 and the A1. Located in the North West of England, this procurement falls under the industry category of structural steelworks with reference to CPV code 45223210. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage with a competitive procedure involving negotiation. Interested contractors should note that the tender period concludes on 20th June 2025, with the contract projected to commence on 1st October 2025 and wrap up by 30th April 2030.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for enterprises with expertise in heavy construction and structural steelworks. The project is a chance to collaborate with leading industry players like Balfour Beatty and Keltbray, alongside Kier.
