## Summary

The public procurement process initiated by Kent County Council pertains to the "SC22331/1 - Drainage Works Framework 2023 - Call off Contract". Classified under the industry category of "Ground-drainage work," and covering additional categories such as "Drainage construction works" and "Drainage and surface works," this contract is valued at £500,000. Located in the South East region of the United Kingdom, the contract focuses on maintaining drainage systems on both highway and non-highway sites. The procurement method used was selective, with works under £25,000 awarded via direct award on a rotation basis, and those over £25,000 through a mini-competition process. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded to Ferns Surfacing Limited, starting from 16 August 2024 and ending on 31 July 2027. Key dates include the tender period ending on 31 July 2023.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in drainage and ground maintenance works. Firms specialising in labour, resources, and materials for drainage-related activities would be well-suited to compete, especially given the direct award rotation for smaller contracts under £25,000. Businesses can benefit from ongoing, reliable work within the framework agreement, providing a steady stream of income and potential for long-term partnerships with Kent County Council.
