## Summary

The procurement process, managed by Dartford Borough Council, pertains to the "Central Park Waterplay Area - Extra Items 2025" project, conducted under the industry category of playground equipment. The project is located in Dartford, within the UKJ43 region of the United Kingdom. Initially in the tender stage, the contract advanced through award and is currently completed, although the contract was ultimately terminated as of 25th November 2025 due to the project being completed under the initially specified terms. Despite the termination, the procurement was conducted using a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. The procurement process was initiated for goods, and Ustigate Limited was the awarded supplier on 10th September 2025, with the contract period running from 11th to 30th September 2025.

This procurement offered opportunities for businesses engaged in manufacturing or supplying playground equipment, especially those positioned as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) given the suitability criteria. Ustigate Limited, being an SME, exemplifies the type of business well-suited to engage in such contracts, especially when the procurement method allows for direct awards without competition, fostering growth within local and niche markets. Engaging in such tenders could enable businesses to establish strategic partnerships with public authorities like Dartford Borough Council, thereby enhancing their portfolio and credibility in public sector projects.
