Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Dover Discovery Centre Fire Door Fees" project was managed by Kent County Council, located in Maidstone, England. This contract falls under the "Construction work" industry category and involves the installation of fire doors in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was carried out through a direct method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, indicating a less competitive process. The tender was initiated with a complete status, and key dates include the contract period starting from 1st March 2025 to 1st July 2025, with an award date of 25th February 2025.

This tender provides growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) given its suitability for such entities. Businesses engaged in construction work or specialising in fire door installation would find this contract particularly beneficial. As the procurement was executed through a direct method, it may also be advantageous for businesses with a prior working relationship with Kent County Council or those with a strong local presence in the South East region. Successful bidders, like Gleeds, can leverage their experience for similar future projects.
