Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council has completed the award stage for the procurement titled "SC240100 - Geopark Corners (Cross Channel Geopark) ITT." This project falls under the industry category of "Printed matter and related products," and aims to promote the UNESCO Global Geopark network within the Kent Downs National Landscape and the Parc Naturel Régional des Caps et Marais d'Opale in France. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with a total contract value of GBP 35,000. The contract period spans from 1st September 2024 to 31st March 2025, with SDB Rutt Design Group being the awarded supplier. The primary focus of this project is the creation, design, and deployment of interpretive stands to act as mobile mini-exhibitions, which will be displayed in indoor venues such as museums and visitor centres across the UK and France.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), which this procurement explicitly supports. Businesses specialising in printed matter, project-design services, and nature reserve services are well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. With a focus on geological significance and sustainable economic development through geological and eco-tourism, companies involved in these sectors can leverage this procurement to enhance their portfolio and establish stronger partnerships within community-led initiatives promoting natural and cultural heritage.

Notice Information

Notice Title

SC240100 - Geopark Corners (Cross Channel Geopark) ITT

Notice Description

In celebration of the chalk and the channel, we are working to secure Cross-Channel UNESCO Global Geopark status for the Kent Downs National Landscape together with our neighbouring protected landscape in France, the Parc Naturel Regional des Caps et Marais d'Opale. UNESCO Global Geoparks are single, unified geographical areas where sites and landscapes of international geological significance are managed with a holistic concept of protection, education and sustainable development (https://en.unesco.org/global-geoparks). All geoparks are areas of exceptional geological significance, but what makes them special is that they are community-led partnerships that promote an appreciation of natural and cultural heritage while supporting the sustainable economic development of the area, importantly through geological and eco-tourism. As a part of the journey to UNESCO status, we are commissioning a number of "Geopark Corner" interpretive stands to act as mobile, mini exhibitions about the Geopark. These promotional displays will provide information, images, leaflets and products, that showcase the Global Geopark Network. They will be displayed indoors at museums and visitor centres on both sides of the Channel.
