Summary of the contracting process

Canterbury City Council commissioned painting works at Castle Street Car Park in Canterbury. The requirement covered painting structures and repainting work, including the preparation and application of coatings to the car park and associated surfaces. This is a construction and maintenance works opportunity rather than a supply-only or consultancy contract. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is located in Canterbury, Kent. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, covering the complete painting package for the car park. It is relevant to painting contractors, building maintenance firms and construction businesses with the workforce and equipment to carry out structured repainting works in an operational public car park.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 11 June 2026 to Dave Mannings Painting Contractors Ltd. The contract was signed on 17 June 2026 and runs from 13 July to 30 October 2026. Its value is £148,170 excluding VAT, or £177,804 including VAT. Canterbury City Council used a below-threshold limited competition, with four bids received and four reaching the final stage. The single lot was completed through the award process, and the successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The planned work period was described as 8–12 weeks, subject to weather conditions. The contract is recorded as active and below the applicable threshold.

This award shows that Canterbury City Council buys substantial, defined painting and repainting packages for its public car-park estate through a limited below-threshold competition. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the practical ability to paint structures and complete repainting works safely, efficiently and to a consistent standard in a public setting. Relevant businesses include specialist painting contractors, commercial decorators and building-maintenance firms able to manage a complete works package rather than isolated small tasks. The four final-stage bids indicate that the requirement attracted several competing suppliers, while the award to an SME shows that businesses of that scale can be credible for this type of council works contract. Weather-sensitive planning and site delivery experience would also be commercially important.
