UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Dartford Borough Council who acted as the buyer for the contract titled "DPLS Housing - Void Works". This tender falls under the building installation work category, specifically focusing on works related to void properties within the UKJ4 region, United Kingdom. The contract, initiated as a direct procurement below the threshold and without competition, began on 5th September 2025 and concluded on 31st May 2026. While the original contract was completed and awarded to TRAIL GROUP LIMITED, subsequent documents indicate that the contract was later terminated as of 10th June 2026.

This tender provides dynamic opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in building installation and repair works, particularly those specialising in housing and property maintenance services. The direct procurement approach, favouring smaller businesses without the pressure of competitive bidding, allows suitable SMEs to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure future contracts in similar domains. Companies with expertise in swift property repairs and adherence to turnaround goals, such as achieving a 12-day turnaround per void, would be well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities like this to expand their business reach and establish local partnerships with municipal entities.
