Summary of the contracting process

Dartford Borough Council procured building works at Fleetdown Community Centre in Dartford. The requirement was to remove the existing single-glazed glass roof and supply and install a new double-glazed atrium roof using solar-reflective glass. Associated works included the installation of glass roofing and related components, including window and door installation work. This is a specialist glazing and roofing project for a community facility, involving removal of an existing roof and delivery of a replacement atrium structure. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for the community centre and the surrounding local service area. The work was delivered in Dartford, Kent, and is relevant to glazing contractors, specialist roofing businesses, window and door installers, and construction firms able to manage refurbishment works in an occupied or public-sector community setting.

The procurement was completed through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded following four bids, all four from SMEs. The award was made to NZR Windows & Doors Limited on 13 January 2026. The awarded value was £42,350 excluding VAT, or £50,820 including VAT. The contract was signed on 28 January 2026 and ran from 1 February to 31 March 2026. The contract was subsequently terminated on 4 August 2026 because it was completed; implementation ended on 31 May 2026, with a final value of £42,350 excluding VAT, or £50,820 including VAT. The procurement record identifies the works category and limited competition method, but does not set out award criteria or weighting.

This procurement demonstrates local-authority demand for specialist public-building glazing and roofing refurbishment at a modest project scale. A credible future supplier would need to survey and remove existing glazed roof structures, design or source suitable replacement components, and install double-glazed atrium roofing with solar-reflective glass. Experience with associated window, door and roofing components would be directly relevant. The completed work also indicates that suppliers should be able to manage a defined construction package from removal through installation and completion, while meeting public-sector site, safety and coordination requirements. Four bids were received, all from SMEs, showing that the requirement was accessible to smaller specialist businesses rather than only major contractors. Firms combining glazing expertise with reliable installation and refurbishment capacity would be well placed when comparable work is next considered.
