## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by Dartford Borough Council focuses on the "Temporary Orchard Theatre Electrics" project, which falls under the electrical installation work category. Located in Dartford, UKJ43, the project requires a secure full-time electricity connection for the Temporary Theatre. The procurement stage reached contract termination by 30th April 2026 after the initial award and contract completion phases. Initially awarded to M.T.R Electrics Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), the value of the contract was set at £70,000 with an implementation period starting on September 11, 2025, and intended to conclude by July 31, 2026. The procurement method used was direct, below the threshold without competition, in adherence to the legal framework outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender can provide substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs specialising in electrical installation work, as it exemplifies a need for specialised expertise in securing theatre electrics. Companies equipped to offer turnkey solutions for similar public authority requests can benefit significantly from such contracts, fostering potential for recurring business with municipal councils. The opportunity lies chiefly for those with the capability to deliver reliable and secure electrical connections essential for theatre operations. Engaging in this procurement process allows businesses to increase their presence and reputation within the public sector domain, particularly for those located in or near Dartford, where relationship-building and local expertise can offer competitive advantages.
