Summary of the contracting process

Kier Transportation Limited is managing an award stage in the procurement process for the A417 Missing Link project, specifically for the Structures Expansion Joints works, under the National Highways Limited Regional Delivery Partnership. This procurement involves constructing a new dual carriageway in the South West region of the United Kingdom, connecting the existing A417 Brockworth bypass with the dual carriageway south of Cowley. The procurement process used was a competitive procedure with negotiation above the threshold, with the award granted on 19 September 2025 to Volkerlaser Ltd for a value of £525,079. The contract period extends from 13 October 2025 to 27 August 2026.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in construction works as classified under CPV code 45000000. Although the process used a selective procurement method, it highlights competitive negotiation, suggesting opportunities for businesses capable of delivering specialised construction services. Larger enterprises with relevant experience in regional infrastructure projects would have been well-positioned to bid, aligning with Kier Transportation Limited's strategic role as a principal contractor for significant roadway projects.
