The Lower Thames Crossing is a new road that will improve connections between Essex and Kent through a tunnel beneath the River Thames. Our purpose is to drive change in how infrastructure is delivered-connecting people to jobs and businesses to opportunities, while leaving a lasting skills legacy for local communities and championing biodiversity and low-carbon construction.

To support the project's ambitions, we are committed to publishing opportunities on Contracts Finder to provide full visibility to SMEs and local subcontractors. This widens access to the Lower Thames Crossing supply chain, encourages participation from smaller and locally based businesses, supports regional growth and ensures that organisations of all sizes have a fair opportunity to compete.

Our ambition is to deliver the UK's greenest road while doing the right thing for local communities and the environment. Achieving this will require the support of our supply chain. Any supplier seeking to secure work on the Lower Thames Crossing must therefore demonstrate its commitment to supporting the following project ambitions:

Leaving a skills legacy for the local community by recruiting locally and upskilling the workforce to enable meaningful progression into higher-paid and higher-skilled employment.

Delivering the Lower Thames Crossing with the lowest practicable carbon, including supporting our zero-emissions ambitions, reducing the use of diesel on site and promoting alternative sustainable fuels and working practices.

Creating opportunities through early-career roles, including apprenticeships, and inspiring young people to consider careers in construction through STEM engagement.
