Summary of the contracting process

Ashford Borough Council is overseeing a procurement process titled "Cycle Hub Storage Unit" in the United Kingdom, specifically in the Ashford locality. The buying organisation is a public authority within the sub-central government category. This procurement falls under the goods industry category, with a focus on shelters. Originally initiated on 5th December 2025, the tender reached the completion stage on 15th January 2026. The procurement method was an open competition, aimed below the threshold, with an electronic submission policy through the Kent Business Portal. Notably, the tender period concluded on 12th January 2026, and while one lot was involved, the associated award was later cancelled as of 14th January 2026.

This tender offered significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply and installation of cycle storage solutions. The project required the provision of a 24-cycle storage unit, complete with installation and maintenance services. With a gross value noted at £48,000, and an award criteria weighted 40% for price and 60% for quality, businesses with capabilities in high-quality manufacturing and logistical execution would have been well-suited to compete. Opportunities such as these enable small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to bid for public contracts, potentially fostering business growth within the public sector infrastructure domain.
