Summary of the contracting process

Dartford Borough Council, a public authority in the UK, conducted a procurement process titled "Tree Works March 2025" in the services category. The Council is located in Dartford, UK, and the contract involved urgent ad hoc tree works. This procurement, following a direct method below the threshold without competition, progressed through various stages, culminating in contract termination due to completion by 25 March 2025. The signing of this contract was finalised on 10 September 2025, following an award notice published on 28 August 2025. The contract was monitored under legal framework UKPGA 2023/54 and involved services delivered within the UKJ4 region.
