Managed by Dartford Borough Council, the procurement for the "Renewal and Upgrade of Entrance Doors and Door Entry Systems at The Grove, Swanscombe, DA10 0AD" was initiated to enhance security for tenanted blocks. This process, under the public authority of sub-central government, is classified as a complete tender stage involving limited competition, falling below the threshold. The key dates include the contract signing on 13th July 2026, with commencement set for 5th October 2026 and completion by 31st October 2026. The main industry category for this procurement is goods, specifically surveillance and security systems. The project location covers the UK region designated as UKJ4, and the total contract value amounts to £19,500 excluding taxes.

This tender presents an opportunity for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in security systems, as demonstrated by CERTUS SECURITY LLP, the successful supplier.
