Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent, located in Maidstone, UK, concerning the Kent Police Estate Strategy CCS Framework RM6343 for Estates Management, specifically Lot 1. The industry category for this contract is business and management consultancy services, with Knight Frank LLP, based in London, awarded the contract on 14th April 2026 for a gross amount of £152,070. The contract is currently in the award stage, and the commencement of services is scheduled from 1st June 2026 to 31st December 2026. The procurement method was limited, indicating a below-threshold and limited competition. A milestone is set for a signature by 30th April 2026.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses adept at delivering consultancy services within estate management domains. The contract involves strategic estate management for Kent Police, thereby providing leverage for consultancy firms with experience in public sector frameworks to demonstrate expertise and grow their influence in public authority procurement. Although Knight Frank LLP has been successful in securing Lot 1, other consultancies—especially those qualifying under different lots or segments—may still find complementary opportunities within this specific framework or related avenues in the future. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were less represented, indicating potential gaps and opportunities for such businesses to strengthen their positioning in consultancy services through targeted strategic engagements with similar frameworks.
