Summary of the contracting process

The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe appointed a consultant for the redevelopment of Woodland Cottages in Lyminge, Kent. The requirement covers architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, with the consultant acting as employer’s agent, quantity surveyor and clerk of works. The work is intended to support the project through RIBA stages 1 to 6, covering the full progression from early preparation and design through construction and completion. Delivery is in Folkestone and Hythe District, at Woodland Cottages, Lyminge, Kent. This is a professional services opportunity for construction consultancy practices able to provide integrated project, cost and site oversight for a council-led redevelopment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Modus Construction Consultants Limited on 21 August 2026. It was a below-threshold open competition, evaluated on price and quality. Price accounted for 30%; quality covered cost management (15%), information coordination (15%), delivery stage and contract management (10%), and resources (30%). Eleven bids were received, all from SMEs at the final stage. The awarded value is £125,000 excluding VAT (£150,000 including VAT). The award contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 July 2030, with renewal options totalling up to 12 months or as needed to complete construction, to a maximum date of 6 July 2031. The procurement had one lot and electronic submission was allowed.

This award indicates demand for a small or medium-sized construction consultancy that can combine employer’s agent, quantity surveying and clerk-of-works functions within one redevelopment team. A credible competitor would need the technical depth to support all RIBA stages, from early project development through design, construction monitoring and completion. Strong cost-management capability is important, as it formed 15% of the quality assessment, while information coordination and delivery-stage contract management were also tested. Resource planning carried the largest quality weighting, so firms should be able to demonstrate suitably qualified staff, availability across a multi-year project and capacity to maintain continuity. Experience delivering coordinated council or public-sector redevelopment projects would help establish credibility when this buyer next reviews a comparable requirement.
