UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "DTCR - Phase 2B - Spital Street" was managed by Dartford Borough Council, a public authority at the sub-central government level, located in Dartford, UK. The project falls under the industry category of highway maintenance work, specifically relating to diversionary works under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. Initially tendered on 28th March 2025, the contract was awarded to UK Power Networks Services Holdings Limited. The procurement process was managed through a direct award method below threshold without competition due to the unique nature of the works that can only be performed by the supplier on its own assets. Although the contract commenced on 1st May 2025 and concluded on 1st May 2026, it was ultimately terminated on 11th May 2026 upon completion, with contract termination details officially published.

This contract presented a business growth opportunity primarily for large businesses capable of undertaking highway maintenance and infrastructure work on specified utility assets. Given the specialised requirement that only UK Power Networks could fulfil this contract, similar projects may also present opportunities for businesses with exclusive capabilities or technical expertise to perform works on their own infrastructure. Companies with the capacity to engage in direct procurement methods may particularly benefit from understanding the nuances of such specialised contracts. Businesses in the construction and infrastructure sectors who can demonstrate unique qualifications and relevant experience may have valuable growth opportunities in similar niche markets.
