## Summary

Kier Transportation Limited is seeking an experienced Works Examiner for the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Scheme 1 & 2 projects, which involve upgrading segments of the A66 to dual carriageway and enhancing key junctions. This tender, classified as highways consultancy and technical inspection services, falls under the works category and is conducted as an open procedure above threshold. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, the tender period concluding on the 13th of March 2026. This initiative is located in the North West of the United Kingdom, with a contract expected to commence on the 6th of July 2026 and conclude by the 30th of July 2030. The contractual value is estimated at £500,000.

This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses involved in highway consultancy and technical inspection services, particularly those with expertise in overseeing large infrastructure projects. Kier Transportation encourages applications from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) equipped with the necessary qualifications and relevant experience. Suitable candidates will have the opportunity to partake in a significant infrastructure upgrade, in collaboration with top-tier contractors like Balfour Beatty and Keltbray. Given the scale and scope of the project, businesses with a strong portfolio in construction compliance and technical approvals in highway settings are well-suited to compete.

## Notice

Kier Transportation intends to engage an experienced and qualified Works Examiner (WE) for all structures on Scheme 1 & 2. The Works Examiner is defined in DMRB CG300 as "An appointed individual who witnesses the construction of highway structures to ensure they are built in accordance with the approved design and technical approval requirements, and who signs the Construction Compliance Certificate upon satisfactory completion." 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.
