Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Folkestone and Hythe Waste Transfer Station (RIBA Stage 3 Design) has been concluded, with Kent County Council as the buying organisation. This contract falls within the construction work industry category and is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement utilised a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender stage was completed on 5th December 2025, leading into an award. The contract commenced on 8th December 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 13th February 2026, with a value of £101,909.91. Award details were formally published on 12th March 2026.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities for businesses involved in construction and architectural services, particularly those capable of undertaking RIBA Stage 3 design work. However, it is important to note that the contract appears tailored for larger organisations given the project's scale and selective procurement method, potentially leaving less scope for SMEs and VCSEs. Companies with existing framework agreements under the KCC Construction Partnership may find similar opportunities favourable for further engagement and collaboration with Kent County Council in the future.
