UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the refurbishment of the Dartford Athletics Club Pavilion is managed by Dartford Borough Council, a sub-central government authority located at Civic Centre, Home Gardens, Dartford. The initiative involves consultancy services to complete the design aspects necessary for progressing the project to the planning application stage. The procurement stage is complete, with the award notice issued on 15th July 2026. The contract, valued at £60,000 gross, is designated for services under the building consultancy category, with direct procurement methods utilised below the competition threshold. The project is slated to run from 16th July 2026 to 31st March 2027, catering to the location within the UKJ4 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in building consultancy services, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive design and planning solutions for local government projects. While this specific contract has been awarded to Ridge and Partners LLP, a large-scale consultancy firm based in Woodstock, it highlights the potential for similar opportunities in the sub-central government sector for firms adept in architectural and planning consultancy. Companies with experience and capacity to engage in public authority projects should consider monitoring Dartford Borough Council's future tenders to potentially expand their business operations in regional infrastructure initiatives.
