UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured works at Knole Academy’s SRP, described as design consultancy services under CPV 79415200. The requirement concerns professional design consultancy supporting activity at the academy. The buying organisation is Kent County Council, a sub-central public authority. The named service concerns a specific school setting rather than a council-wide programme, so relevant businesses are those able to provide design consultancy associated with education premises and related works. The procurement was arranged as a single completed lot. The available description is brief, and the requirement’s stated scope is limited to works at Knole Academy’s SRP; detailed technical outputs and responsibilities should therefore be checked against the underlying contract information before drawing firm conclusions about the service package.

This below-threshold procurement has been awarded. The tender was completed through a below-threshold procedure whose specific method was recorded as unknown. One completed lot was awarded to ConsultConstruct. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 8 May 2026. Its contract period runs from 8 May 2026 to 6 August 2028. The contract value is £44,614.66 excluding VAT, or £53,537.59 including VAT. The award covers design consultancy services and relates to the Knole Academy SRP requirement. The recorded process does not set out a stated evaluation basis, submission route or eligibility requirements. Kent County Council is the buyer, and ConsultConstruct is the selected supplier for the completed lot.

For competing firms, this procurement is evidence that Kent County Council buys focused design consultancy for works in a school-based specialist provision setting, at a modest individual-contract scale and through a below-threshold route. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable design consultancy capability relevant to education premises, an understanding of working around an operational academy, and the capacity to support the requirement across a multi-year contract period. Experience translating client needs into practical designs, coordinating with school and council stakeholders, and delivering clear professional outputs would strengthen a future position. ConsultConstruct is recorded as an SME supplier, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist consultancy rather than only a large multidisciplinary organisation.
