Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Home Office, a central government authority based in London, acquiring modular units at the Western Jetfoil Dover site. This purchase was deemed more cost-effective than extending a lease for critical accommodation, with minimal disruption anticipated. The procurement falls under the category of goods and employs a direct tender method, known as "Direct award". Awarded to Wernick Hire, a large supplier located in Essex, the contract's completion date is scheduled for between the 25th and 26th of February, 2026. The award notice was published on the 12th of February, 2026.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for companies specialising in the provision of modular units and related goods. Businesses that can offer competitive pricing, high-quality goods, and timely delivery are well-positioned to compete efficiently in similar tenders. Suppliers in the construction or prefabricated building sector, particularly those capable of handling large-scale projects with central government bodies, could find such opportunities beneficial for expanding their market presence and increasing revenue streams.
