Tender description

Kier Transportation are looking to engage an experienced and qualified contractor to carry out works pertaining to an enablement earthworks package including retaining wall at the Ullswater Community College on the A66 NTP. This work will create the space to allow the Main Contractor to construct the Kemplay Junction. The A66 upgrade will see single-lane sections of the 80km stretch between the M6 and the A1 made into dual carriageway, while key junctions will be improved. The A66 project is to be delivered in collaboration by three Tier 1 contractors, Balfour Beatty, Kier and Aureos. We will use the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria (CAS) to ensure a consistent minimum business competence. If your company possesses necessary qualifications and is interested in bidding for this project, please email Transportationprocurement@kier.co.uk with your company's portfolio, relevant experience, and references for further evaluation.
