## Summary

Dartford Borough Council, acting as the buying organisation, has undertaken a procurement process titled "Footbridge Central Park - Works," classified under the civil engineering and construction industry and situated in Central Park, Dartford, UK. This procurement was initiated as a direct tender process, detailed under legal basis 2023/54, and completed below threshold without competition. The contract phase has concluded with the project status marked as complete. Initially awarded on 10th July 2025, the construction involved the installation of a pedestrian footbridge from Ecology Island to the main Central Park with the contract period spanning from 11th July 2025 to 30th November 2025. However, the contract faced termination upon completion as of 25th November 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for SMEs within the civil engineering and construction sector, specifically targeting firms adept in pedestrian bridge installation projects. The engagement with Dartford Borough Council could foster long-term relationships for future public works projects, widening a firm's portfolio. Henderson & Taylor Public Works Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise, successfully obtained the contract, exemplifying the council's openness to engage with smaller or specialist contractors for such developments. Businesses established in the UK, especially those familiar with local government procurement processes, payment systems, and regulations, are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities.
