Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "TWBC - Benhall Mill Road Parks Depot" was initiated by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council. This project, categorised under construction work, is located in Tunbridge Wells, UK. Initially announced on 5th November 2025, the tender was for the refurbishment of the existing crematorium depot building and the construction of a new garage. The procurement method was open competition with the tender status marked as active, having a budget of £660,000. The tender period concluded on 3rd December 2025, with an enquiry period ending on 26th November 2025. However, the award associated with this tender was eventually cancelled on 22nd December 2025.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the construction industry that specialise in refurbishment and building projects. The open competition method ensures a broad range of firms, including small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), can compete. Businesses that excel in cost-effective and high-quality construction work would be well-suited for such opportunities, especially given the contract's emphasis on both cost (70%) and quality (30%). Despite the cancellation, similar future projects might become available, providing lucrative prospects for businesses prepared for public sector work in the region.
