Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by KENT COUNTY COUNCIL focused on emergency lighting works at the Kent History and Library Centre, situated in the South East region of the United Kingdom. This tender, classified under the Construction work category, followed a limited procurement method with a competitive quotation below the threshold. The contract's active award was published on 18th August 2025, but the tendering period concluded earlier on 5th January 2025. The contract period spanned from 17th February to 29th May 2025, underscoring the Council's commitment to completing the emergency lighting fixture on a timely basis.

This opportunity highlights potential growth for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction industry, given the project's scale and regional focus. With KENT COUNTY COUNCIL's engagement, it marks a notable opportunity for businesses that specialise in providing critical infrastructure services. Companies like Skanska Construction UK Ltd, already a supplier for this project, exemplify the type of well-positioned businesses in this market, indicating room for other skilled firms to explore future collaboration or subcontracting opportunities within similar frameworks.
