## Summary

The procurement process, managed by Kier Transportation Limited, is focused on the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project (NTP) - Schemes 1 & 2 Tree and Vegetation Clearance Phase 2. This tender falls under the 'Demolition, site preparation, and clearance work' industry category, with additional services related to tree-clearing and tree-cutting. The location for this project is the North West region of the United Kingdom. Currently at the tender stage, the process is active and interested eligible contractors must submit their bids by 19th June 2026. This project employs a selective procurement method, specifically a competitive procedure with negotiation above the threshold, and the contract period is expected to run from 26th October 2026 to 26th March 2027.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses proficient in arboricultural operations, particularly those involved in tree and vegetation clearance. It is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant experience, as the procurement process values business competence through the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria. Companies specialising in tree services and site clearance within the North West region stand to benefit. Additionally, collaborating with Tier 1 contractors such as Balfour Beatty and Keltbray, alongside Kier, enhances the scope for networking and future procurement opportunities in the infrastructure development sector.

## Notice

Kier Transportation intends to engage experienced and qualified contractors to undertake works associated with the tree clearance of all remaining arboricultural operations required to facilitate the Scheme 1&2 construction works, following the prior completion of Phase 1 tree clearance activities. 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 infrastructure.procurement@kier.co.uk with your company's portfolio, relevant experience, and references for further evaluation.
