## Summary

Kier Transportation Limited is managing an award stage in the procurement process for the A417 Missing Link project, specifically for the Structures Expansion Joints works, under the National Highways Limited Regional Delivery Partnership. This procurement involves constructing a new dual carriageway in the South West region of the United Kingdom, connecting the existing A417 Brockworth bypass with the dual carriageway south of Cowley. The procurement process used was a competitive procedure with negotiation above the threshold, with the award granted on 19 September 2025 to Volkerlaser Ltd for a value of £525,079.
