Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured structural strengthening works for the basement of Sessions House. The requirement covers construction works to strengthen the existing basement structure, classified as structural works. The work is associated with Kent County Council’s Sessions House premises and delivery in Kent. This is a building and civil engineering opportunity rather than a consultancy, routine maintenance or supply contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement include contractors experienced in structural strengthening, basement construction and remedial works to existing public buildings. The buying organisation is Kent County Council, based in Maidstone. The procurement concerns one defined package of works for the Sessions House basement, rather than a wider programme of structural works across multiple sites.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure, with one lot. GTCI LIMITED was selected as supplier. The awarded contract value is £191,942.08 gross. The contract was signed on 14 July 2025 and runs from 14 July 2025 to 19 September 2025. The award and contract are recorded as active. The procurement was evaluated as a works requirement for structural strengthening, with the available outcome identifying the selected contractor and the completed process. This was a below-threshold opportunity, so its route and scale are relevant to contractors that normally pursue smaller public-sector construction packages rather than major above-threshold frameworks or large capital programmes.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Kent County Council for specialist strengthening works to existing public buildings, including basement structures. The selected supplier, GTCI LIMITED, is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist contractor can secure this type of council work. Suppliers likely to be well placed for a future requirement of this kind would need practical structural works capability, experience working within existing buildings and the resources to deliver a defined construction package on a short programme. Familiarity with public-sector contract administration, site safety, sequencing, temporary works and coordination around occupied or operational premises would strengthen credibility. Contractors serving Kent and the surrounding area may also be well positioned because the requirement is delivered locally.
