Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ashford Borough Council procured building and construction works to replace kitchens and bathrooms across the South East of England. The requirement covers the delivery of replacement works rather than the supply of standalone products, with the purpose of renewing kitchen and bathroom facilities. It was arranged as a call-off from a framework agreement, so the relevant market is contractors able to undertake this type of building work through the applicable framework route. The council is the buying organisation, and delivery is geographically focused on the South East. The procurement is categorised as works and is associated with CPV 45210000, building construction work. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Tender submissions had a deadline of 28 July 2026 at 10:00. Ashford Borough Council awarded the contract to SER Contractor Ltd on 19 August 2026 for £3,100,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2029. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available outcome records one supplier and one award. The published requirement does not state a separate evaluation weighting or award-criteria breakdown.

This procurement demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for contractors able to deliver coordinated kitchen and bathroom replacement works for a local authority across the South East. A credible competitor would need practical building-construction capability, experience managing replacement programmes in occupied or operational properties where relevant, and the capacity to deliver multiple work packages consistently. Access to the relevant framework route is commercially important, because the council used a framework call-off rather than an open tender. The award to an SME indicates that a business of that scale can meet the requirement, provided it can demonstrate reliable delivery, competent project management, suitable subcontractor control and the operational capacity to maintain quality and programme performance across the council’s estate.
