Construction work

Tender description

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 to us; it is imperative that we work collaboratively to achieve the optimum solutions. We are releasing a market engagement questionnaire along with this PIN in order to gather intel for the scheme. Following this, we are also planning to hold a scheme launch event in February 2019. Please email the NIP Market Engagement inbox (nipmarketengagement@highwaysengland.co.uk) to register interest in both the engagement day and the questionnaire. We will be using our e-Bravo tendering system and once registered you will receive a guidance document on how to access this. The A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project focuses on creating a new strategic corridor linking the A1 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 Scotch Corner and M6 J40 Penrith/Kemplay Bank.
