## Summary

Kier Transportation Limited is seeking contractors for pavement construction on Schemes 1 and 2 of the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project. The works cover full road and pavement construction, including base, binder and surface courses, surface treatment and planing. This is a highways and road construction requirement, classified under CPV 45233000. Delivery is in the North West of England. The A66 project is being delivered collaboratively by Balfour Beatty, Kier and Keltbray, with Kier Transportation acting as the buying organisation for this requirement. The opportunity is aimed at businesses able to undertake substantial highway pavement works as part of a major infrastructure scheme, rather than suppliers providing isolated materials or minor maintenance services.

The procurement has reached tender: Kier invited offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation, above threshold. The buyer set a tender submission deadline of 23 September 2026 at 17:00. The planned contract period runs from 24 June 2027 to 24 October 2030. Its stated value is £6,500,000. The requirement is for works rather than goods or services, and the tender is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Bids will be assessed through the competitive procedure with negotiation; the published information does not set out a separate quality or price weighting. The opportunity covers Schemes 1 and 2 together, with the construction scope spanning the listed pavement and surface treatment activities.

This opportunity suits experienced, qualified pavement construction contractors with the workforce, plant and management capacity to deliver highway base, binder and surface courses, surface treatment and planing across a major infrastructure project. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a relevant company portfolio, comparable road or pavement construction experience and suitable client references. Kier will use the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria to check a consistent minimum level of business competence, so suppliers should be prepared to meet that assessment and evidence their qualifications and capability. The requirement is marked as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to established smaller contractors with sufficient delivery capacity, specialist highway expertise and the resources to work within a multi-contractor project involving Balfour Beatty, Kier and Keltbray.

## Notice
