In plain English
Kier Infrastructure needs a specialist steel fabrication and installation contractor to make and fit 6 complex steel bridge plates on the M6 motorway at Lune Gorge (between junctions 37–38). The work must meet strict engineering standards for motorway safety and fatigue resistance.
What the buyer wants
• Fabricate 6 steel road bridge plates to complex specifications, meeting fatigue Class F90 and F140 standards (series 1800) • Install the plates in the central reservation of the motorway under Kier's traffic management • Complete all work to execution Class 3 (a high structural integrity standard)
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: Unless you have proven experience in structural steel bridge fabrication, motorway installation works, and certified welding teams capable of fatigue-class welds, you will not pass the Build UK CAS assessment. This is a highly specialist contract requiring demonstrable portfolio evidence.
Always check the tender documents.
