Dartford Borough Council has completed a procurement process for the "Dartford West Air Conditioning" project, with the procurement stage reaching an award. This procurement falls under the industry category of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning installation work, and pertains to the completion of the air conditioning system, which is part of the temporary theatre setup at Orchest West. The contract covers works related to these services, valued at £174,000, with a gross amount of £208,800, set to be active from 26th September 2025 until 31st December 2025. The procurement method was direct, indicating it was below the competitive threshold, and the primary location of work is in Dartford, UKJ4 region.

This contract presents business growth opportunities particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in HVAC systems or related infrastructure work, such as those providing innovative or specialised air-conditioning solutions. Contractors in the region or those with expertise in handling public sector projects may find this a suitable opportunity. The procurement's direct method without competition suggests the Council sought a specific solution quickly, hence businesses with niche or direct offerings in air-conditioning may be ideal candidates for similar future contracts.
