Kier Transportation Limited is inviting tenders for fencing works at Ullswater Community College, which falls under the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine upgrade. The project, categorised within the industry of fencing, railing, and safety equipment installation work, is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage with an end date set for 9th March 2026. The contract period is scheduled to begin on 5th August 2026 and conclude on 7th August 2026. The procurement method is selective, utilising a competitive procedure with negotiation, above the threshold stipulated. The total value of the tender is £25,000 GBP.

For those interested, Kier Transportation Limited requires potential bidders to demonstrate their business competence through the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria. Contractors wishing to partake must provide their portfolio and references, making this an excellent opportunity to showcase expertise and secure future contracts.
