UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust has successfully completed a public procurement process concerning the replacement of the OPD front entrance walkway and gas meter steps at Tonbridge Cottage Hospital. This project, classified within the building construction industry, involved significant structural works including dismantling, rebuilding, and installation of frameworks and access features. It also included electrical work and vegetation clearance to facilitate better access. The procurement method employed was a limited competition below the threshold, and the contract was awarded on 22nd October 2025. The active contract period is set from 17th November to 8th December 2025, with the project located in Ashford, United Kingdom.

This procurement offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in construction-related works, particularly those experienced with public authority projects and licensed to comply with UK regulations. Companies with capabilities in refurbishment, structural dismantling, and installation, notably small to medium-sized enterprises like the awarded Lancaster Building Company, are well-suited to compete for similar tenders. With a focus on enhancing accessibility and infrastructure, such partnerships can bolster a firm’s portfolio and credentials within the public sector landscape.
