## Summary

The Dolphin Centre CHP Agreement, procured by Darlington Borough Council, is focused on the repair and maintenance work for the heating plant at the Dolphin Centre. This contract falls under the 'works' industry category, specifically targeting heating-plant repair and maintenance. The procurement process has been completed through a direct method, classified as below threshold without competition, and the contract was awarded to Centrica Business Solutions UK Limited, effective from 15th August 2025 to 14th August 2040. The main location of the tender is in Darlington, within the UKC13 region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a strategic growth opportunity for businesses involved in energy solutions and maintenance services, particularly those with expertise in combined heat and power (CHP) systems.

High-standard service delivery in such contracts can help in building a strong portfolio and reputation in the public sector market.
