Summary of the contracting process

The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe commissioned refurbishment works at Bouverie Square public toilets in Folkestone. The scope covers three public convenience facilities: gents’, ladies’ and disabled toilets. The works include sanitary fixture installation, decoration and general refurbishment. Delivery is in Folkestone, Kent. This is a local-authority building refurbishment requirement focused on improving public toilet facilities, combining building-finishing work with plumbing or sanitary installation. Businesses suited to public convenience, commercial premises or small public-building refurbishments would find the requirement relevant, particularly contractors able to coordinate several finishing and sanitary work activities within one site.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was run as a single lot. Kent Plastering Contractors Limited was selected, and the contract was signed on 20 April 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £64,824.26 excluding VAT, or £77,789.11 including VAT. The award covers the refurbishment works, including sanitary fixture installation, decoration and refurbishment at Bouverie Square. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contracting authority is The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe. The procurement’s recorded status is complete and the resulting contract is active.

This award indicates that Folkestone and Hythe District Council buys compact, site-specific refurbishment packages for public facilities through a limited competition route. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need practical experience refurbishing occupied or public-facing buildings, with the ability to deliver sanitary fixture installation, decoration and associated refurbishment works as one coordinated package. Relevant capability may include plumbing or sanitary installation, plastering, decorating, repairs and finishing work, supported by competent site management and reliable delivery across a short programme. The awarded supplier’s SME status also indicates that the requirement can suit a smaller contractor with sufficient workforce, supervision and financial capacity, rather than only a national construction business. Contractors with a track record of local-authority or public-building work would be well placed to demonstrate suitability when comparable work returns.
