Summary of the contracting process

Dartford Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority, initiated a procurement process for the construction and installation of a pedestrian footbridge in Central Park, Dartford. The process was carried out through a direct procurement method due to the project's below-threshold status, hence no competition was involved. After the successful award of the tender to CTS BRIDGES LIMITED, the contract commenced on 11th July 2025 and was slated to end on 30th November 2025, with a total gross value of £37,200. However, the contract concluded prematurely on 25th November 2025, with the termination classified as 'contract completed'. This project's primary procurement category was goods, specifically relating to bridge construction, and it was identified under the CPV code 44212100.

The project presents opportunities for SMEs, particularly those specialising in infrastructure development and bridge construction, to engage in future similar public projects potentially involving Dartford Borough Council or equivalent authorities. While this tender was awarded without competition, the demonstrated ability to deliver quality infrastructure solutions can enhance a company's portfolio, positioning them as a competent supplier for anticipated future tenders. The inclusion of CTS BRIDGES LIMITED, an SME, highlights the potential for small and medium-sized enterprises to undertake significant public sector contracts, fostering growth and strengthening business partnerships with public authorities.
