## Summary

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees is embarking on a procurement process to improve the A62 to Cooper Bridge Junction, located in Huddersfield, United Kingdom. The project aims to address congestion issues at the junction, promoting housing and employment growth as outlined in the Kirklees Local Plan. This procurement, currently at the planning stage as of 21 May 2026, is classified under the 'Construction work' category with a selective procurement method through a framework agreement. The project is set to begin on 4 January 2027 and conclude by 31 October 2030.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for construction companies experienced in highway improvements to engage in a substantial infrastructure project. The selective nature of the procurement indicates that companies with relevant prior experience and qualifications are likely to have a competitive advantage. Those firms looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector or enhance their presence in the UK construction industry would find this project particularly suitable for business growth. Given the significant scale and duration of the contract, participating businesses could benefit from securing steady work over a multi-year period.

## Notice

The existing A62 / A644 Cooper Bridge junction comprises of a signalised three-armed roundabout connecting the A62 Cooper Bridge Road (southern arm), the A644 Wakefield Road (western arm) and the A62 Leeds Road (eastern arm). The junction is severely congested in the AM and PM traffic peaks. The proposed highway improvements will not only ease congestion issues but also support housing and employment growth ambitions highlighted within the existing Kirklees Local Plan (adopted 2019). The Council is now intending to proceed with phase one of the project and is seeking to progress a procurement for the appoint of a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to support this works requirement via a two-stage design and build process to construct the required improvements at Cooper Bridge junction.
