## Summary

Highways England is planning to initiate a tender for the A66 Northern Trans-Pennines Project, which focuses on the construction and design of a new strategic corridor linking the A1(M) J53 at Scotch Corner with the M6 J40 at Penrith. The project, classified under the construction work category (CPV code 45000000), is based in the North East and North West regions of England. The estimated value of the contract is £94 million, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 8th December 2022 and conclude on 8th December 2032. A future notice regarding this opportunity is expected to be published by 29th April 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the construction sector, particularly for businesses involved in highway infrastructure and engineering. Companies specialising in design and build contracts, especially those with experience in large-scale transportation projects, will find this a fitting opportunity. Highways England is keen to engage suppliers to inform their procurement approach, making it an ideal time for businesses to showcase their capabilities and influence the project development.

## Notice

Highways England (HE) is the government company charged with operating, maintaining and improving England's motorways and major A roads. We have a huge road investment programme to deliver and want to engage with suppliers to inform our approach to procuring our larger national infrastructure projects. Supplier feedback and providing the opportunity to influence project and procurement development is extremely important. The A66 Northern Trans-Pennine (NTP) Project focuses on creating a new strategic corridor linking the A1(M) J53 at Scotch Corner with the M6 J40 at Penrith by upgrading this section of the A66 to dual carriageway and making other improvements along its length. The A66 between these junctions is 50 miles in length of mixed standard both single and dual carriageway. The single carriageways sections total 21 miles in length. The project will also enhance capacity at the junctions at either end: A1(M) J53 Scotch Corner and M6 J40 Penrith/Kemplay Bank. Additional information: Highways England is currently developing its strategy for the appointment of Design and Build Contractors for the project.
