Summary of the contracting process

Dartford Borough Council has successfully conducted a direct procurement for a project titled “Len Goodman Paving 2026,” during the contracting process, to honour the late Len Goodman, a beloved figure in the local community. This contract, falling under the category of works, includes public art installation and stone carving in Dartford, United Kingdom, specifically targeting a public space enhancement at the town centre. The procurement decision was made without competition as it was below the threshold, with the award process being completed on 11th May 2026. The council is based in Dartford, and the procurement process is classified as 'complete'. The entire execution of the contract is scheduled from the 12th of May until the 20th of June 2026.

This tender creates business growth opportunities, particularly for companies in the specialised craft and stone carving sectors. Given that the procurement method was direct due to the below-threshold nature, this highlights opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like SCRIBBLE STONE INSPIRE LTD, which successfully secured the contract. Located in Halifax, this SME is well-suited for such projects. Businesses in the creative arts and construction sectors that focus on niche projects related to public art could find similar future procurement opportunities to be advantageous for expanding their portfolio and showcasing their specialty on a community level.
