Pipeline Framework: A66 Northern Trans-Pennines Project: Construction Contract – Design and Build Contract

A pipeline has been launched for A66 Northern Trans-Pennines Project: Construction Contract – Design and Build Contract. The contract start Date is 8 December 2022. Approach to market date is 29 April 2022.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.The A66 Northern Trans-Pennine (NTP) Project focuses on creating a new strategic corridor linking the A1(M) J53 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(M) J53 Scotch Corner and M6 J40 Penrith/Kemplay Bank. ?This is a potential opportunity from the government, and the pipeline gives advance notice of an opportunity that might be offered by the public sector in the future – allowing potential suppliers to plan accordingly. When a public sector organisation publishes a pipeline notice, it does not necessarily mean that an opportunity will be offered in the future.For more information contact: Highways England, Manchester M1 3BN.
