Summary of the contracting process

Dartford Borough Council has awarded a contract for the project titled "DTCR - Phase 2B - Spital Street" within the highway maintenance industry category. This project involves works under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, specifically for diversionary works. The procurement process was conducted through direct procurement without competition, as no other company can perform work on assets owned by UK Power Networks Services Holdings Limited. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract signed on 18th March 2025 and work set to commence on 1st May 2025. The project is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom and has a total contract value of £197,423.10 including VAT.
