UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dover District Council commissioned a consultant to evaluate options for future waste services on behalf of Dover District Council and Folkestone & Hythe District Council. The work covers waste-services options evaluation and related water-supply and waste consultancy services. It is a professional services requirement rather than an operational waste collection, treatment or disposal contract. Delivery is associated with Dover and Folkestone & Hythe in Kent. The commissioning authority is Dover District Council, acting for itself and Folkestone & Hythe District Council. The requirement will suit consultancies that advise public authorities on waste-service models, options appraisal and the implications of different service arrangements across neighbouring districts. Its focus is strategic evaluation and advice to support council decision-making about waste services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to EUNOMIA RESEARCH & CONSULTING LIMITED through a below-threshold limited competition. The award is active and the contract was signed on 17 July 2026, with a contract period from 18 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The awarded contract value is £37,443.60 gross, in GBP. The procurement was for services and was divided into one completed lot. The award relates to the waste-services options evaluation for Dover District Council and Folkestone & Hythe District Council. The published process information identifies the route as limited competition below the relevant threshold; the award was made following that restricted competitive route. EUNOMIA RESEARCH & CONSULTING LIMITED is the selected supplier.

For a consultancy that did not win this contract, the award indicates demand from Dover District Council and Folkestone & Hythe District Council for independent, specialist advice on waste-service options. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a strong record of evaluating local-authority waste services, comparing delivery and commissioning models, and turning technical, financial and operational evidence into clear recommendations for elected decision-makers. Experience of working across more than one district would be relevant, as would the ability to manage a short, focused consultancy assignment and engage effectively with public-sector stakeholders. Research, analytical and strategic consulting capability is central; this is not evidence of demand for frontline waste operations or physical infrastructure.
