## Summary

The procurement process involves Dartford Borough Council seeking a Development Partner for the redevelopment of the former Co-operative Department Store Site and Kent Road Westgate Car Park Site in Dartford Town Centre. This project, classified under the category of Development services of real estate, has a contract value of £85 million, with an estimated minimum value of £75 million.

The tender process concluded on 13th April 2017, with the contract awarded to Muse Developments Ltd on 19th September 2017.

This opportunity for business growth is particularly favourable for large development firms that have extensive experience in mixed-use redevelopment projects.

Engaging with this tender can open avenues for collaboration and expansion within the Dartford region.
