## Summary

Dartford Borough Council has engaged in a procurement process for the "Temporary Orchard Theatre Electrics - Ducting" project. Situated in Dartford, United Kingdom, this initiative falls under the goods industry category and was conducted as a direct procurement method, without competition, due to its below-threshold value. The procurement process was completed with several important stages, including a contract award on 28th August 2025, and the contract was active from 11th September 2025 to 31st July 2026, with a possible extension until 31st October 2026 due to unforeseen delays. However, the contract was ultimately terminated on 5th January 2026 following completion.

This tender provided a valuable opportunity for businesses engaged in public works and goods supply, particularly firms capable of delivering electrical ducting solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Henderson & Taylor Public Works Limited, the supplier initially contracted, were well-suited to compete due to the nature of the project and procurement method. Such opportunities facilitate business growth through involvement in public sector projects, offer revenue through government contracts, and demonstrate capabilities in executing infrastructure-related services. Despite the contract's termination, understanding the process and requirements can inform strategic positioning for similar future opportunities.
