## Summary

Kier Transportation Limited is spearheading a procurement process focused on the reinstatement of archaeology fields as part of the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine (NTP) Scheme 6, within the North East region of the United Kingdom. This project ties into a broader initiative to convert sections of a critical 80km road strip from single-lane to dual carriageway, with strategic junction upgrades. The procurement, categorized under site-reclamation work in the construction industry, is currently in the tender stage and adopts a competitive procedure with negotiation. Interested firms must submit their proposals by 23rd December 2025, with the contract execution period starting on 5th March 2026 and concluding on 5th March 2028.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses engaged in site-reclamation and landscaping works, providing a potential growth pathway by collaborating with prominent tier 1 contractors such as Balfour Beatty and Aureos, alongside Kier. Companies that are suitably qualified, particularly those that meet the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria, and have a proven track record in similar projects, stand a favourable chance in this competitive selective procurement method. The project is ideally suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their portfolio through significant infrastructure projects in the UK’s transport sector.
