Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Kent County Council, pertained to urgent heating plant equipment for Meadowside Care Centre. This project falls under the "Construction work" category, with a CPV classification code of 45000000, indicating its relevance to the construction industry. The project is located in the South East of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage, recorded as "award," concluded with the contract award to Skanska Construction UK Ltd, a large-scale supplier. The procurement method used was a competitive quotation, classified as below threshold, reflecting a limited method approach. The tender period ended on 5th January 2025, with the contract period running from 16th February 2025 to 31st July 2025. Opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were identified, although not specifically for voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The contract's total value amounted to £48,552 GBP.

This tender provides notable opportunities for construction businesses, particularly those offering urgent heating equipment solutions. With a focus on SMEs, this procurement may interest smaller businesses seeking to expand their portfolios by serving local government projects in the South East region. The limited procurement method suggests a more accessible competitive environment, potentially favourable for smaller entities offering specialised or competitive heating solutions. Given the completion of the award process, businesses should prepare for similar future opportunities by aligning with public sector requirements and developing strategic partnerships, like those exemplified by Skanska Construction UK Ltd's engagement in this procurement exercise.
