UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council commissioned services for a safety audit at Chilmington Green School. The requirement is described as an “IW Safety Audit” and is categorised as legal advisory and information services, indicating a requirement involving review, advice and information relating to safety matters. The work is associated specifically with the school rather than a general county-wide service. The buyer is Kent County Council, a sub-central public authority. The selected supplier, Birketts LLP, is a small or medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is relevant to organisations that provide safety audit or assurance work with a legal advisory and information-services dimension, particularly those able to support a school-related public sector requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a below-threshold procedure whose detailed method is recorded as unknown. It consisted of one lot. Kent County Council awarded the contract to Birketts LLP on 20 March 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and ran for one day, from 20 March 2026 to 20 March 2026. Its value was £50 excluding VAT and £60 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies legal advisory and information services as the classification for the awarded work. The available award information does not set out a separate scoring formula or stated evaluation weighting, so the recorded outcome is the key indicator of how this procurement concluded.

For a competing supplier, this award is evidence that Kent County Council buys focused, short-duration safety audit support for schools through a below-threshold route. A credible future provider would need to understand the scope of an “IW Safety Audit”, produce clear findings and practical advice, and present information in a form suitable for a public authority and school setting. The classification also points to the value of legal advisory and information-services capability, so relevant experience should cover both safety-related review and the accurate interpretation or communication of requirements. The incumbent is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller firm rather than only a large national provider.
