## Summary

The procurement process for the A417 Missing Link - Prefabricated Vertical Drains, managed by Kier Transportation Limited, primarily focuses on the construction industry and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender falls under the construction category, with a contract value of £1,500,000. The procurement follows a competitive procedure with negotiation and is currently at the award stage.
