The requirement is classified as masonry and bricklaying work and falls within the works category. Delivery is in the North West of England. The work is part of a major highways scheme and is focused specifically on constructing dry stone walls rather than general road construction. Businesses specialising in traditional or contemporary dry stone walling, masonry, bricklaying and associated highway works may therefore find the opportunity relevant. The named buying organisation is Aureos Highways Limited, which is managing the requirement for the A66 scheme. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement has reached the tender stage: Aureos Highways Limited invited offers through a limited competitive quotation process below the public procurement threshold. Bids were due by 19 August 2026 at 23:59. The planned contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 27 August 2027. The estimated contract value is £100,000. The requirement is a single dry stone wall construction package for the A66 Scheme 3A project, with delivery in the North West. The stated method is a competitive quotation rather than an open tender. The published information identifies the work category and scope, but does not set out a separate award weighting or evaluation formula. This is therefore a relatively focused, below-threshold works opportunity for a specialist contractor. This opportunity suits contractors with practical capability in dry stone wall construction and related masonry or bricklaying work. Relevant suppliers are likely to have teams able to build, repair or adapt stone walls to the standards required on a major highways project, while coordinating safely around wider infrastructure works. Experience of working on transport, civil engineering or road schemes would help a bidder demonstrate that it can manage site interfaces, programme requirements and quality expectations, although the published requirement does not identify specific accreditations or qualifications. The opportunity is expressly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, making it potentially accessible to smaller specialist walling businesses as well as larger contractors. Firms operating in or able to service the North West are best placed geographically. ## Notice Dry Stone Wall construction for for A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Scheme 3a Project. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/01f7489d-2bd4-4b42-b5a7-2cee5fc69a76 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 19 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2026 - 27 Aug 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | AUREOS HIGHWAYS LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Postcode area | Kingston upon Thames | | Postcode | KT10 9TA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Elmbridge | | Electoral ward | Esher | | Westminster constituency | Esher and Walton | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45262500 - Masonry and bricklaying work ## Release History - 12 Aug 2026 at 12:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/01f7489d-2bd4-4b42-b5a7-2cee5fc69a76 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/01f7489d-2bd4-4b42-b5a7-2cee5fc69a76 12th August 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
