## Summary

The A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project, managed by Kier Transportation Limited, involves the supply of labour for major works across Schemes 1, 2, and 6. This project aims to transform sections of the 80km stretch from the M6 to the A1 into a dual carriageway, enhancing key junctions. Set in the North West of the United Kingdom, the procurement process is at the tender stage, with interested parties able to submit proposals until 17:00 BST on 11th July 2025. The total project value is estimated at £9,000,000, classified under CPV codes for construction and placement services. This selective competitive procedure involves negotiation and looks to attract qualified suppliers who meet the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and workforce placement services related to highways and roads. Companies with a robust portfolio demonstrating relevant experience and qualifications are encouraged to apply. Although the opportunity is not specifically geared towards SMEs or VCSEs, organisations with a solid infrastructure and experience in large-scale projects will find this an ideal opportunity for business growth and to establish partnerships with tier 1 contractors like Balfour Beatty, Kier, and Keltbray. This engagement can enhance business profiles and open doors to further opportunities within public infrastructure development.

## Notice
