The scope covers street-lighting equipment, including lighting columns and street lamps, for an 80 km road improvement programme between the M6 and the A1. The wider project will convert single-lane sections to dual carriageway and improve key junctions. Delivery is in the North West of England. The works form part of the A66 project being delivered collaboratively by Balfour Beatty, Kier and Keltbray. This is a construction and infrastructure opportunity for contractors able to install or deliver road and highway lighting as part of a major transport scheme. The procurement has reached tender: Kier invited offers through an open procedure above the applicable threshold. Interested contractors were asked to submit their company portfolio, relevant experience and references by email to infrastructure.procurement@kier.co.uk. The buyer set the offer deadline at 15 September 2026 at 5:00 pm. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 February 2027 to 30 April 2030. Its estimated value is £300,000. The requirement is classified as works, with the procurement covering street-lighting equipment, columns and lamps. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation will include the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria as the minimum business competence standard. This opportunity suits experienced, qualified street-lighting and highway-infrastructure contractors, particularly SMEs with a track record of delivering lighting works on major roads or transport schemes. Businesses should be able to demonstrate relevant technical competence and provide a company portfolio, evidence of comparable experience and suitable references. The Build UK Common Assessment Criteria will be used to establish a consistent minimum level of business competence, so suppliers should be prepared to meet that assessment standard. Contractors familiar with road construction environments, lighting columns, lamps and associated equipment will be well placed to compete. The collaborative A66 delivery model also offers relevance for firms accustomed to working alongside Tier 1 infrastructure contractors and managing complex highway projects. ## Notice Kier Transportation are looking to engage experienced and qualified contractors to carry out works pertaining to the Street Lighting works on the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine scheme (Schemes 1 & 2). 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 infrastructure.procurement@kier.co.uk with your company's portfolio, relevant experience, and references for further evaluation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f7880337-618a-4a2a-bd71-5f8ae3456748 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | 15 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2027 - 30 Apr 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | 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 | KIER TRANSPORTATION LIMITED | | Locality | SALFORD | | Postcode area | Manchester | | Postcode | M50 3XP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Salford | | Electoral ward | Quays | | Westminster constituency | Salford | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34928500 - Street-lighting equipment - 34928510 - Street-lighting columns - 34928530 - Street lamps ## Release History - 8 Sep 2026 at 16:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f7880337-618a-4a2a-bd71-5f8ae3456748 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f7880337-618a-4a2a-bd71-5f8ae3456748 8th September 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
