The procurement falls under the public authority sub-central government classification and is located in Dartford, United Kingdom. This process is currently in the tender stage, following its recent completion with the contracting status being terminated as per the latest update on 11th February 2026. The direct procurement method has been employed due to the exclusive capability of Hardscape Products Limited to source the required materials, highlighting a lack of alternative suppliers. Business users can note key dates, including the initial award date on 10th July 2025, with the contract termination date on 10th February 2026 and project completion expected by the end of April 2026. The procurement project offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of construction materials, particularly SMEs that can provide high-quality granite products. Hardscape Products Limited was identified as the sole supplier capable of accessing the required granite, showcasing specialized expertise in sourcing materials from China. Companies with robust overseas supply chains or those looking to establish a niche in granite products could potentially benefit from similar contract opportunities by fortifying supplier capabilities or enhancing competitive advantage in strategic sourcing. Suppliers in the construction materials category within the United Kingdom, and particularly those who can negotiate favourable logistics with international suppliers, may consider future engagements with public procurement initiatives like the DTCR project. ## Notice The DTRC project needs to procure granite kerbs and paving from China for the construction phase of the DTCR Phase 3a - Spital Street. ### Procurement Information The materials can only be procured via Hardscape who are the only supplier who can access the granite from China.
