Summary of the contracting process

Dartford Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Dartford, UK, initiated a tender process for the "Demolition and Reconstruction of The Outdoor Theatre 2025". The procurement process, described under UK legislation 2023/54, falls under the works category, specifically targeting construction and civil engineering tasks. Initially, the contract was awarded and commenced on 4th December 2025, concluding by 19th December 2025, with an overall financial value of £33,484.00. However, the contract status was later updated to terminated on 29th June 2026, following the completion of the work earlier than planned.

This procurement process offers significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction and civil engineering sectors, given the tender's method details and direct procurement approach without competition—encouraging agile enterprises to partake. The initial awarding to Brenwards Limited, an SME based in Gravesend, suggests a preference or suitability for smaller, regional businesses that can respond rapidly and efficiently to urgent municipal needs. Participating in such projects can bolster business credibility and provide a pivotal growth opportunity by expanding their experience within public sector works.
