Summary of the contracting process

The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe is procuring external planned works for its social housing properties. The requirement covers capital works to the external envelope of buildings, including repointing, re-rendering, structural remedies, façade work, restructuring and associated specialist construction activities. The work is intended to maintain and improve the condition of properties and their external fabric. The contract will be delivered across the Folkestone and Hythe district in Kent. It is a works contract and is identified under CPV codes 45262000, 45443000 and 45454000. The council is seeking one suitable supplier for the complete programme rather than separately described service packages, with the detailed technical requirements set out in the tender documents.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited organisations to submit offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 25 September 2026 at 23:59, and tenders by 5 October 2026 at 13:00. Offers must be submitted electronically through the Kent Business Portal. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend for up to 12 months, in one or more periods, subject to performance; the maximum end date is 31 March 2030. The estimated value is £875,000 excluding VAT for the initial term and £1,325,000 excluding VAT including extensions; the published gross lot value is £1,590,000. Evaluation is based on price at 30% and quality at 70%, covering experience, mobilisation and resources, communication, regulatory compliance, carbon reduction and social value.

This opportunity suits construction contractors experienced in external building-envelope and planned works programmes, particularly in the social housing sector; the council identifies it as suitable for SMEs. Bidders need to demonstrate comparable projects delivered within required timescales, strong customer satisfaction and quality-management processes, including resolving defects and improving working methods or materials. The requirement favours businesses able to mobilise and programme works effectively, manage delay risks, secure materials and equipment, maintain a relevant supply chain and manage material-cost pressures where schedules of rates are fixed. Competitors should also be able to communicate with residents, neighbours and vulnerable people, operate robust complaints and health-and-safety procedures, monitor carbon reduction, and deliver measurable social value such as training, apprenticeships or community support.
