## Summary

The A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project (NTP) - Scheme 1 & 2 Survey Control is currently in the Tender stage, with an open invitation for experienced and qualified subcontractors to provide topographical, surveying, and monitoring services. This project, led by Kier Transportation Limited in collaboration with Balfour Beatty, Kier, and Keltbray, aims to upgrade sections of the A66 stretch between the M6 and the A1 into dual carriageway, along with key junction improvements. The procurement is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, and proposals are sought through a limited procurement method with competitive quotations below the threshold. Interested parties must submit their proposals by 24th July 2026, with the contract period running from 7th September to 23rd October 2026. The project falls under the works industry category.

This tender represents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in topographical, surveying, and monitoring services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, provided they meet the qualifications set out by the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria. The project's scope and collaboration with Tier 1 contractors suggest potential for ongoing partnerships and portfolio enhancement. Companies interested in competing are advised to present a robust portfolio, relevant experience, and references to Kier Infrastructure for evaluation. With a total value of £10,000, this project offers a valuable opportunity for businesses looking to establish a strong foothold in large-scale infrastructure improvements within the UK.
