## Summary

Kent County Council has completed the procurement process titled "DPTIF (Professional Support)" to enlist professional services for winding up the Discovery Park Technology Investment Fund (DPTIF) equity scheme. This scheme, initiated in partnership in 2015, is approaching its conclusion in December 2025. The procurement process was conducted under a limited method due to its below threshold nature, indicating limited competition. The contract was awarded to Jenson Ventures Limited, with the contract commencing on 11th December 2025 and set to conclude by 31st March 2026, including potential renewals if any delays occur. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting miscellaneous business and business-related services, and is located in the United Kingdom's region UKJ4.

This procurement presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses involved in providing comprehensive professional support and consulting services, particularly those with experience in managing equity schemes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like Jenson Ventures Limited, which are adaptable and experienced in financial management and consultancy, would find themselves particularly well-suited to such opportunities. The limited competition nature of the procurement suggests that businesses with niche expertise and the ability to deliver specialised consultancy will play key roles in fulfilling the requirements of this contract, thereby fostering potential growth in their service portfolio and expanding business reach within governmental and financial advisory sectors.
