## Summary

Dartford Borough Council is procuring planning and design consultancy for the detailed design of the northern section of Hythe Street. The work is separate from the Dartford Town Centre Regeneration project. The stated purpose is to complete detailed design using funding awarded to the council’s Planning and Place function by Kent County Council. The service is classified under geological and geophysical consultancy, although the description focuses on street planning and detailed design. The work is associated with Dartford, Kent. Wilde Consultants Limited was selected to provide the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Wilde Consultants Limited. The council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award is recorded as pending; the procurement itself is marked complete. The award value is £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 29 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a possible extension to 30 September 2027 due to unforeseen circumstances. The award date is not stated. The requirement was divided into one lot. The council had been awarded £100,000 in funding by Kent County Council for the detailed design work.

For firms competing for similar future work from Dartford Borough Council, this award indicates demand for consultancy to develop detailed designs for a specific street section, rather than a wider town-centre regeneration project. The selected supplier is a consultancy, and the stated service classification is geological and geophysical consultancy; suppliers should therefore assess whether their planning and design offer can meet the council’s detailed-design requirement and any associated technical consultancy needs. The work was handled as a direct award without competition, so the route used for this purchase did not provide an open competitive opportunity. Wilde Consultants Limited is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller consultancy was selected for this single-lot requirement. The brief links the commission to council Planning and Place funding from Kent County Council.
