Tender: Supply of Concrete Pumps for Lower Thames Crossing (Kent Roads) – Skanska

About

Skanska is seeking a subcontractor to supply concrete pumps for the Lower Thames Crossing (Kent Roads) project, providing all necessary labour, plant and equipment as part of the initial uninterrupted construction activities. The majority of works will take place off-line, but certain sections will be located online within the central reservation of the A2, so proven experience in major highway schemes is essential. The Lower Thames Crossing is a new road to connect Essex and Kent via a tunnel beneath the River Thames; the project aims to be the UK’s greenest road and Skanska has committed to publishing opportunities on Contracts Finder to widen access for SMEs and local subcontractors. Successful suppliers must demonstrate commitments to leaving a skills legacy by recruiting and upskilling local workers, delivering the lowest practicable carbon including a “zero emissions” intent and eradication of diesel on site, promoting alternative sustainable fuels, and creating early careers roles such as apprenticeships and STEM engagement. Operatives must hold relevant qualifications and competency cards (CSCS) and have a Highway Passport.
