Summary of the contracting process

KIER TRANSPORTATION LIMITED has successfully awarded a contract for the "A417 Missing Link - Structures Jointing" project as part of the National Highways Limited Regional Delivery Partnership. This process, now at the award stage, involved a competitive procedure with negotiation above the threshold and concluded with an award on 19th September 2025. The scope of work involves constructing a 3.4-mile dual carriageway in the South West region of the United Kingdom, specifically linking the A417 Brockworth bypass to the A417 south of Cowley. The contract, valued at £525,079, has been granted to Volkerlaser Ltd, a large-scale supplier, and is set to run from 13th October 2025 to 27th August 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, specifically those experienced in infrastructure projects such as highway construction and jointing works.
