Summary of the contracting process

Folkestone & Hythe District Council commissioned communal heating and hot water replacement works at Glenlee House in Folkestone. The requirement covers building-services installation work for a communal residential heating and hot-water system, including the replacement of existing equipment. The procurement is categorised as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work (CPV 45331000) and falls within the works sector. Delivery is in Folkestone, in the South East of England. This is a council housing-related upgrade rather than a general facilities-management or standalone domestic heating requirement. Businesses suited to the opportunity are contractors able to plan and deliver communal heating and hot-water replacement works in an occupied or multi-residential building environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Folkestone & Hythe District Council selected Stonegrove Ltd, an SME, on 27 April 2026. The awarded value is £280,000. The contract runs from 7 May 2026 to 31 August 2026, and the contract was fully executed on 10 July. The competition closed for tenders at 12 noon on 7 April 2026. It was a selective further competition and a call-off from Lot 6, Commercial Heating, of Fusion21’s Heating, Renewables & Electricals Framework. The requirement was evaluated through that framework further-competition route. The tender was marked complete, and the award remains active for the stated contract period.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for communal heating and hot-water replacement at a council-owned residential property. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in commercial or communal heating installation, hot-water systems, replacement of existing infrastructure, and coordinated delivery within a multi-residential setting. The buyer considered the opportunity suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so a specialist SME with appropriate delivery capacity could be well placed. Relevant capability would include surveying existing systems, managing installation and commissioning, coordinating access and site activities, and delivering building-services works safely and to the required performance standard. Experience of public-sector or social-housing environments would strengthen a supplier’s position.
