## Summary

The procurement process for the "A417 Missing Link - Series 600 Earthworks" project has reached the award stage. The buying organisation, KIER TRANSPORTATION LIMITED, based in Salford, England, has selected Walters UK Limited as the supplier. This project involves the construction of a 5.5km dual carriageway connecting the existing A417 Brockworth bypass with the A417 south of Cowley in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement followed a selective method, employing a competitive procedure with negotiation for contracts above the threshold. Key dates include the initial tender period ending on 29 February 2024, and the contract period commencing on 11 March 2024 and concluding on 28 August 2026, with the award officially dated 2 August 2024 and published on 23 August 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, particularly those with capabilities in large-scale earthworks. Given the substantial contract value of GBP 35,000,000, it offers a lucrative opportunity for suitable firms to be involved in a major infrastructure project, facilitating business growth and enhancing their portfolio. While SMEs and VCSEs may not be the primary focus due to the scale of the project, there remains potential for subcontracting and collaboration with the main contractor, Walters UK Limited.
