Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council successfully completed the Aylesham Site Improvement Project, with the award notice published on 20th June 2025. This project, classified under refurbishment work, focused on enhancing utility blocks and external areas to ensure safe and pleasant living conditions for residents. The contract, valued at £388,878.94, ran from 3rd October 2023 to 5th March 2024 in the South East region, United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating a focused and pre-qualified engagement with potential suppliers. The project has now reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to GTCI Ltd, an SME based in Gillingham, Kent.

This tender presented significant opportunities for business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as the procurement process was structured to favour such businesses over voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies specialising in construction and refurbishment work were well-positioned to compete due to the nature of the project. The focus on refurbishment within the public sector provides businesses in this industry an opportunity to expand their portfolio and strengthen their market presence through government contracts.
