UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Kent Housing Association procured employer’s agent and clerk of works services for its Otterham Quay development scheme. The requirement covers construction supervision and construction consultancy, including oversight of delivery and the employer’s interests during the development. The work is associated with the Otterham Quay site in the United Kingdom. West Kent Housing Association, based in Sevenoaks, is the buying organisation. This is a professional services requirement for firms that can combine employer’s agent duties with practical clerk of works and construction monitoring capability. It is relevant to construction consultants, surveying practices, employer’s agents and building professionals experienced in supervising development projects and reporting to a housing association client.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition, described as a closed competition to employer’s agents known to West Kent Housing Association. One lot was awarded to AIREY MILLER LIMITED. The award was made on 16 July 2026, the contract was signed on the same date, and the contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 15 November 2028. The gross contract value is £124,350 including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The contract is active. The award covers employer’s agent and clerk of works services for the Otterham Quay development. The procurement used a limited rather than open procedure, so participation was restricted to the invited firms known to the buyer.

This award is useful market evidence for firms providing employer’s agent, clerk of works, construction supervision or construction consultancy services to housing associations. The requirement shows that West Kent Housing Association uses a closed, below-threshold route for a development project and may approach firms it already knows. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to demonstrate practical construction monitoring, independent site oversight, consultancy advice and the ability to represent the employer’s interests throughout a development. It would also need experience of coordinating with the client and wider project team, identifying delivery issues and providing clear reporting. Smaller specialist practices may be relevant, since the appointed supplier is recorded as an SME.
