Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the TMT Procurement Partnership involves an open tender for the relining of the pond at Kent & Sussex Crematorium, located at Benhall Mill Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN2 5JJ. This project falls under the industry category of construction work for water projects and repair and maintenance services. Initially set to be an active process, key dates included an enquiry period closing on 9th March 2026 and a submission deadline on 16th March 2026. However, the tender was subsequently cancelled on 23rd February 2026. The procurement method outlined was an open competition below the threshold, inviting electronic submissions via the Kent Business Portal.

This tender presented an opportunity for businesses specialising in water-related construction and maintenance projects to compete for a contract valued at £36,000. Suitable businesses include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The criteria for award focused on both cost, weighted at 70%, and quality, weighted at 30%. Although the tender has been cancelled, similar opportunities in the future could provide businesses in the construction sector with avenues for growth in regional public projects. Engaging with such tenders might foster partnerships and expand business operations within the United Kingdom's sub-central government public authorities.
