A66 Northern Trans-Pennine (NTP) - Schemes 1, 2 and 6 Concrete Cube Testing
Notice Description
Kier Transportation are looking to engage experienced and qualified contractors to carry out works pertaining to concrete cube testing for the main works on the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine scheme. The A66 upgrade will see single-lane sections of the 80km stretch between the M6 and the A1 made into dual carriageway, while key junctions will be improved. The A66 project is to be delivered in collaboration by three Tier 1 contractors, Balfour Beatty, Kier and Keltbray. We will use the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria (CAS) to ensure a consistent minimum business competence. If your company possesses necessary qualifications and is interested in bidding for this project, please email Transportationprocurement@kier.co.uk with your company's portfolio, relevant experience, and references for further evaluation.
