## Summary

Dartford Borough Council commissioned dismantling works for its Orchard West project. The work covers removing street-lighting columns, breaking out and removing tarmac and concrete ramps and steps in a restricted-access area, dismantling downpipes for reuse, removing internal steel fencing, and taking 130 metres of cabling out of a trench. This is a single package of works rather than a set of separately described lots. The named site is Orchard West; the published delivery location is identified only as being in the United Kingdom. The requirement combines general dismantling and removal with careful handling for reuse and work in an access-constrained area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Henderson & Taylor Public Works Limited. Dartford Borough Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award was made on 21 September 2026, for £42,180 excluding VAT (£50,616 including VAT). The contract period runs from 28 September to 17 October 2026, with a maximum extent to 17 November 2026; renewal is allowed in unforeseen circumstances. The process had one lot, covering the Orchard West dismantling works. The award is active. No evaluation basis or award criteria are stated in the procurement details.

This award shows demand from Dartford Borough Council for a contractor able to deliver a small, defined dismantling package, including removal of street furniture, ramps and steps, internal steel fencing and trench cabling. Credible suppliers for a future requirement of this kind would need to manage restricted-access work and handle dismantled components for reuse, as required for the downpipes. The direct award route used here was without competition, so the outcome does not provide evidence of a competitive scoring model or stated qualification thresholds. The contract’s short delivery window and defined scope indicate a focused works package rather than a large multi-lot programme. This is relevant to contractors whose work includes site dismantling and removal.
