Summary of the contracting process

The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe commissioned a refurbishment programme for domestic garages covering 2026 to 2027. The requirement is classified as refurbishment work (CPV 45453100) and is a works contract rather than a goods or services purchase. The council is based at the Civic Centre in Folkestone, and the programme concerns its domestic garage stock. One contractor was selected for the requirement: Construction Square Ltd, a London-based small and medium-sized construction business. The scope is therefore relevant to building contractors with practical experience of refurbishing domestic garages and managing a programme of related works for a local authority. The procurement covered one lot, and that lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 6 March 2026, after an enquiry period ending on 27 February 2026. The contract was awarded to Construction Square Ltd on 7 April 2026 for £115,000 excluding VAT, or £138,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 5 May 2026 and runs from 5 May 2026 to 31 March 2027. The original estimate was £75,000 excluding VAT, or £90,000 including VAT. Evaluation was based entirely on price, using a Schedule of Rates. Nine bids were received, with eight reaching the final stage; five final-stage bidders were SMEs. The contract is active.

This award shows that the council buys a defined programme of domestic garage refurbishment through a straightforward open competition, with price assessed against a Schedule of Rates. A credible future competitor would need construction and refurbishment capability, the operational capacity to deliver multiple domestic garage works within a local-authority programme, and the ability to prepare an accurate, competitive schedule of rates. The winning supplier is an SME, while five of the eight final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that the requirement was accessible to businesses of that scale. Firms seeking similar work should be able to demonstrate reliable programme management, cost control, site coordination and consistent delivery of refurbishment works across the council’s property portfolio.
