Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the installation of a new emergency PA system at Princes Park was initiated by Dartford Borough Council, a sub-central governmental authority located in Dartford, United Kingdom. As of the latest updates, the procurement process has reached the contract termination stage on 25 November 2025 due to successful completion. The contract, initially awarded on 24 November 2025, was executed via a direct procurement method, bypassing competition as it was below the threshold, with the entire procurement classified under the 'works' category, specifically focused on alarm system installations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs within the alarm system and installation industry to compete for similar future contracts, particularly those that value specialized expertise and can offer competitive pricing in direct procurement scenarios. Companies like PLP Fire Protection Ltd, based in Leicester, have shown suitability and success in this sphere, indicating that businesses with a focus on regional service provision, adherence to legal standards, and the capability to manage projects on a swift timeline would be well-positioned to capitalize on such opportunities for business growth and market expansion.
