Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Red Book Evaluation - Knights Reach, Dartford" was initiated by Dartford Borough Council, a public authority operating within sub-central government. The procurement, categorised under residential property services, took place in Dartford, United Kingdom (UKJ43 region). The process followed a 'direct' procurement method, meaning it was conducted below threshold without competition. Key milestones included the contract start date on 14th May 2025 and end date on 30th June 2025, with the contract having been signed on 10th July 2025. Despite the contract's completion, a termination notice was issued on 25th November 2025, following the contract's completion on 31st May 2025, with the final contract value grossing GBP 56,400.

This tender provides business growth opportunities primarily for large-scale firms specialising in residential property services, like the supplier Avison Young (UK) Limited. Such businesses had the opportunity to provide expert valuation services on a lease of 139 properties. While it was procured without competition, future opportunities may arise where small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could also participate if similar tenders allow broader competition. Dartford Borough Council could consider SMEs in future tenders to bolster a wider range of opportunities for different business scales, potentially fostering more competitive pricing and innovative solutions in the sector.
