Summary of the contracting process

Canterbury City Council, based in Canterbury, UK, has completed a procurement process for the 'Choose Canterbury' Inward Investment Programme, classified under the services industry category. This specific procurement was completed on 25th November 2025, with the contract period scheduled from 1st December 2025 to 31st March 2026, and potential extensions until 2027, contingent on funding availability. The procurement method employed was direct and below the threshold without competition, indicating a streamlined approach to selecting a supplier. The award, valued at £24,000 gross, was granted to Pillory Barn Design Ltd, located in Maidstone, UK, to provide technical support services within the Canterbury region.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for SMEs in the technical support sector, particularly those capable of delivering specialised services in the context of regional inward investment programmes. Given the procurement’s nature and the absence of competition, businesses that engage directly with public authorities, such as Pillory Barn Design Ltd, can better position themselves to tap into such opportunities. This type of tender is well-suited to firms with established relationships with local councils and those proficient in executing community-focused investment initiatives. Consequently, companies seeking to expand their portfolio in public sector services may find this a beneficial avenue for growth and visibility.
