The A66 North Trans-Pennine enterprise is looking to engage experienced and qualified steel structures contractor for major project on the strategic roads network. The A66 upgrade will see single-lane sections of the 80km stretch between the M6 and A1 made into dual carriageway, while key junctions will be improved. Estimated package spend is £42,000,000. Project is to be delivered in collaboration by three Tier 1 contractors Balfour Beatty, Kier, and Keltbray.

We are looking for experienced firms with proven track record in managing major steel structure projects, equipped with the expertise and resources to ensure Steel bridges and Viaducts are completed efficiently and on schedule. We will use the Build UK Common Assessment Criteria (CAS) to ensure a consistent minimum business competence, and will align with requirements of PPN 11/16.

In addition it is an important component of the contract documents that all structural steelwork, including the fabrication and erection of new steelwork, and the dismantling, modification, fabrication, refurbishment, and re-erection of existing steelwork for bridges, footbridges, sign gantries and other similar structures is to be undertaken by a steelwork contractor listed in the 'Bridgeworks Scheme of the Register of Qualified Steelwork Contractors' (BCSA RQSC) for the type & value of the work to be undertaken.
