Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Town Centre Wireless Network Upgrade Project" was initiated by Dartford Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom. The project involved upgrading existing infrastructure managed by the Council's appointed contractor. The procurement method was direct, considered below the threshold and conducted without competition. The main procurement category was works, focusing on electrical installation work, and took place in the UKJ4 region. The contract was awarded on 10th September 2025 and was set to be implemented from 11th September to 31st October 2025. However, by 25th November 2025, it was reported that the contract was terminated, with the rationale classified as contract completion.

This tender presented opportunities for SMEs, particularly within the electrical installation industry, as it was conducted below the threshold without competition, allowing smaller businesses to secure the contract. The project's successful execution can position businesses for future public sector contracts by demonstrating experience in managing infrastructure upgrades. Businesses experienced in delivering on-time and maintaining high standards in electrical installations would be well-suited to compete effectively in such procurement processes.
