Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for "Otterpool Park: Project Director Services" was initiated by Folkestone and Hythe District Council. This contract, valued at GBP 117,000, seeks project-management services, excluding construction work, in the South East region of the United Kingdom. It was classified under CPV code 79421000 and involves a direct award method. The procurement process reached the award stage, with the contract running from 9th June 2025 to 8th September 2027. Key dates include the tender period ending on 31st January 2025 and the award date on 5th February 2025. The buying organisation, Folkestone and Hythe District Council, operates from Civic Centre, Folkestone, and collaborated with Homes England for part-funding under a contractual agreement.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in project management services. Specifically, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this contract apt given the council's preference for such entities, as indicated by their suitability criteria. Mike Nisbet Development Consulting Limited was awarded the contract, demonstrating that large-scale firms with expertise in non-construction project management are also strong contenders. The contract, which involves working alongside key stakeholders such as the Otterpool Park LLP Managing Director and a range of consultants, presents a strategic opportunity to engage with local government bodies and contribute meaningfully to regional development projects.
