## Summary

The procurement process for the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project involves Kier Transportation Limited, a well-known entity in the construction sector, acting as the buying organisation. This project specifically seeks pest control services for the rabbit population affecting Schemes 1, 2 and 6 of the A66 upgrade, which aims to convert certain sections into dual carriageways and enhance key junctions. The services fall under the industry category of forest pest control services, with the competitive quotation procurement process being limited and below the threshold. Interested parties have until 21st July 2025 to submit their quotations, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 5th January 2026, stretching to 30th April 2030. The procurement location is identified as the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in pest control services to establish a foothold in a large-scale infrastructure project. Given the emphasis on qualifications and experience, companies with a proven track record in pest management and the capacity to meet Build UK's Common Assessment Criteria are well-suited to compete for this contract. Although the procurement is structured through a competitive quotation method, the projected budget of £10,000 allows smaller businesses to participate without the typically higher barriers associated with larger tenders, thus offering a potential avenue for business growth and collaboration with established contractors like Balfour Beatty, Kier, and Keltbray.

## Notice

Kier Transportation are looking to engage experienced and qualified Suppliers for Pest Control on the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine scheme. The A66 upgrade will see single-lane sections of the 80km stretch between the M6 and the A1 made into dual carriageway, while key junctions will be improved. 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 Transportationprocurement@kier.co.uk with your company's portfolio, relevant experience, and references for further evaluation.
