This competitive procurement, employing a selective method, involves the provision of CCTV drainage survey services on the Lower Thames Crossing project, which connects Essex and Kent via a tunnel beneath the River Thames. The operations will span various locations, including the central reservation of the A2 within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The tender, classified under the industry category of "Survey services," was published on 4th June 2026, with a tender period ending on 25th June 2026. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2027 and run through to 2nd November 2032, with an estimated value of £500,000. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses, especially SMEs, as Skanska is committed to fostering local growth by widening access to the Lower Thames Crossing supply chain. Companies with experience in major highway schemes, capable of providing competent operatives with the necessary qualifications, including a Highway Passport, are well-suited to compete. The project encourages sustainable practices, such as the use of alternative fuels and promoting lower carbon emissions, aligning with the UK's goal of delivering its greenest road. By participating, businesses can enhance their portfolio, contribute to a significant UK infrastructure project, and gain a foothold in the competitive UK construction industry, offering opportunities for business growth and operational expansion. ## Notice Skanska is looking to appoint a subcontractor to provide CCTV drainage survey services for the Lower Thames Crossing (Kent Roads) project. The selected subcontractor will be required to supply all necessary labour, plant, equipment, and survey reporting to undertake CCTV inspections of drainage networks and associated assets in accordance with the project requirements and relevant industry standards. These works form part of the initial phase of the main construction programme, known as uninterrupted construction activities. Although the majority of the work will take place off-line, certain sections will be located online within the central reservation of the A2; therefore, proven experience in major highway schemes is essential. The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is a new road to better connect Essex and Kent through a tunnel beneath the River Thames. Our purpose is to drive a change in how we deliver - connecting people to jobs, businesses to opportunities, leaving a skills legacy for the local community and championing biodiversity and low-carbon construction. To support the project ambitions, we are committed to publishing opportunities on Contracts Finder to ensure full visibility for SMEs and local subcontractors. By doing so, we widen access to the Lower Thames Crossing supply chain, encourage participation from smaller and local businesses, and help unlock regional growth. This approach ensures that organisations of all sizes can compete fairly, strengthens local economies, and maximises the benefit of investment within the communities closest to the project. Our ambition is to deliver the UK's greenest road, and to do the right thing for local communities and the environment. We can only achieve this with the support of our supply chain, and it is therefore critical that for any supplier to be successful in winning work on LTC, they must demonstrate commitments to supporting delivery of our ambitions: * Supporting LTC to leave a skills legacy for the local community. This means recruiting a local workforce and upskilling the supply chain to enable meaningful progression into higher paid, higher skilled work. * Delivering LTC with the lowest practicable carbon. This includes adoption of our "zero emissions" intent, eradication of diesel on site and promotion of alternative sustainable fuels. * Helping to create successful opportunities by providing early careers roles, such as apprenticeships, and inspiring young people into construction through delivery of STEM engagement. The operatives involved in the works shall be competent with relevant qualifications and competency cards (CSCS) and have a Highway Passport.
