Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Turner Contemporary Car Park" project has recently reached the award stage. Managed by the buying organisation Kent County Council, this contract involves the management of the Turner Contemporary Car Park in Margate, located in the South East of the United Kingdom. The industry category is building and facilities management services, with a total contract value of £500,000 GBP. The procurement method used is a selective process, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The procurement process was initiated as a tender, and the contract is set to run from 17th June 2026 to 17th June 2030.

This tender award presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in building and facilities management services. With a substantial contract value and a four-year duration, companies equipped to handle large-scale management projects could benefit greatly from such opportunities. However, it is important to note that this contract might not be suitable for small or voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs), given the scale and nature of the procurement. Large businesses that can efficiently manage substantial resources and meet the dynamic requirements outlined by the procurement method would find competing for future opportunities like this advantageous for business growth.
