Summary of the contracting process

The Kent County Council has initiated a tendering process for the "SC20034 Dover FastTrack" project, which aims to enhance highway infrastructure in the South East of the United Kingdom. This project involves the construction of key transport links connecting major housing developments at Whitfield to Dover Town Centre and additional amenities. The tender is currently active, with a submission deadline set for 18 January 2021. The overall value of the project is estimated at £14,000,000, and it falls under the industry category of engineering and construction works, specifically under the CPV code 45220000.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for construction firms and engineering contractors, particularly those with expertise in infrastructure development. Businesses that specialise in highway engineering, construction management, and civil works would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the project's emphasis on enhancing public transport and supporting local housing initiatives, companies that can demonstrate experience in similar projects will likely have a competitive advantage. The construction period is expected to span approximately 65 weeks, offering a substantial engagement for successful bidders.
