Lower Thames Crossing - Kent Roads - Stage 1 Works: Asphalt Surfacing Contract

Skanska is looking for a subcontractor to provide asphalt surfacing for access routes and hard standings in Gravesend, Kent. The subcontractor will need to supply all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and quality assurance to complete the surfacing work according to Skanska's specifications, schedule, and safety standards. The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is a new road project aimed at improving connectivity between Essex and Kent via a tunnel under the River Thames. Our goal is to transform how we deliver infrastructure by connecting people to jobs, businesses to opportunities, creating a skills legacy for the local community, and promoting biodiversity and low-carbon construction. To support these objectives, we are committed to making opportunities available on Contracts Finder, ensuring visibility for small and local subcontractors. This initiative aims to broaden access to the LTC supply chain, encourage participation from smaller businesses, and stimulate regional growth. It ensures fair competition for organizations of all sizes, strengthens local economies, and maximizes the benefits of investment in nearby communities. Our ambition is to create the UK's greenest road, prioritizing the needs of local communities and the environment. Achieving this requires collaboration with our supply chain, and it is essential for suppliers to demonstrate their commitment to our goals: • Contributing to a skills legacy by hiring locally and enhancing the supply chain's capabilities for higher-skilled, better-paying jobs. • Delivering the project with minimal carbon emissions, including a commitment to 'zero emissions' on-site and the use of sustainable fuels instead of diesel. • Creating opportunities for early careers, such as apprenticeships, and inspiring young people to pursue construction through STEM engagement. All workers involved in the project must possess relevant qualifications and competency cards (CSCS) and hold a Highway Passport.
