UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dartford Borough Council commissioned refurbishment works at the Swanscombe Cemetery messroom in Dartford. The requirement covered a full internal and external strip-out, refurbishment and decoration of the building, together with asbestos removal. It was a single refurbishment requirement combining building overhaul and specialist asbestos services. The council was the buying organisation and the work was associated with Swanscombe Cemetery. The procurement falls within refurbishment and asbestos removal services, including CPV classifications 45453000 and 90650000. This requirement is relevant to contractors able to manage building refurbishment works and coordinate or deliver asbestos removal as part of a public-sector project. It may suit firms with experience working in cemetery or other sensitive operational environments, where site management, safe strip-out and reinstatement need to be handled as one package.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It had one lot and received three bids, all three from SMEs. The contract was awarded to PROPERTY FACILITIES GROUP LTD on 15 September 2026. Its value is £38,490 excluding VAT, or £46,188 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 December 2026. The award was based on the buyer’s limited-competition process; the published data does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The planned contract signature date was 17 September 2026. The selected supplier is a Bromley-based SME. The requirement therefore represents a small, short-duration refurbishment package procured through a restricted route rather than an open competition.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is useful evidence of Dartford Borough Council’s demand for small, self-contained refurbishment packages combining general building work with asbestos removal. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide full internal and external strip-out, refurbishment and decoration, while managing asbestos safely and coordinating the specialist and general works. Relevant experience in occupied, public-facing or operational sites would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where safety, sequencing, site control and reinstatement must be managed together. The competition also shows that the council used a limited route and that SMEs were able to reach the final stage. Firms should therefore be able to demonstrate suitable asbestos capability, refurbishment expertise, reliable delivery management and evidence of completing comparable council or estate-maintenance work.
