The project, classified under the construction category, is expected to address congestion and air quality issues resulting from increased traffic due to local growth. Interested parties must submit their tenders by 4th August 2022. The estimated contract value is £27 million, with a contract period spanning from 1st March 2023 to 1st August 2024. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction and infrastructure development, particularly those skilled in roadworks and traffic management. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find this project aligns well with their capabilities, enabling them to contribute to vital public infrastructure and potentially expand their project portfolios. Companies that can demonstrate experience in similar projects will be well-positioned to compete for this substantial contract. ## Notice Kent County Council (the Council) is the largest local authority in England covering an area of 3,500 square kilometres. It has an annual expenditure of over PS1bn on goods and services and a population of 1.6m. The Council provides a wide range of personal and strategic services on behalf of its residents, operating in partnership with the NHS Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group, 12 district councils, and 289 parish/town councils. KCC consists of four directorates: * Adult Social Care and Health; * Children, Young People and Education; * Growth, Environment and Transport; and * Strategic and Corporate Services. This service is being commissioned on behalf of the Major Capital Programme Team which sits within the Growth, Environment and Transport directorate. The Key Street and Grovehurst Road junctions are located on the A249, to the north-east of the M2 Junction 5 heading towards the Isle of Sheppey. Road users currently using either Key Street or Grovehurst Road junctions often experience high volumes of traffic, which results in significant vehicle queues and congestion. The volume of traffic at these junctions is expected to increase as a result of future growth in the surrounding area, which is set out in the local plan. KCC is proposing improvements to the two junctions to reduce the impact of future growth, reduce congestion and address air quality issues.
