Summary of the contracting process

Dover District Council is seeking a contractor to remove and replace flooring at Eastry Court in Aylesham. The requirement covers floor-laying and floor-covering works, including the provision and installation of replacement flooring as part of the building improvement project. The work is classified under CPV 45432100, floor-laying and floor-covering work. Delivery is in Aylesham, within the Dover district. This is a works contract for a supplier able to plan and carry out flooring replacement in an occupied or operational public-sector building environment, subject to the detailed requirements in the tender documents. The council is the buying organisation and will appoint a suitable contractor to deliver the complete flooring works requirement.

The procurement reached tender: Dover District Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot and electronic submission is allowed. Enquiries had to be submitted by 6 October 2026 at 17:00, and tenders by 13 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 16 November to 14 December 2026, a four-week programme. The estimated value is £35,000 excluding VAT, or £42,000 including VAT. Offers will be evaluated on price at 85% and quality at 15%. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers must submit their tenders electronically using the council’s specified eSourcing route and should review the full requirements, pricing instructions and quality questions before responding.

This opportunity suits flooring contractors able to deliver a complete replacement flooring package, from planning and supplying suitable materials through to installation and completion at Eastry Court. It is particularly relevant to small and medium-sized enterprises, and the single-lot structure gives one contractor responsibility for the full works requirement rather than separating the activity into multiple packages. Businesses should be able to organise a short, defined installation programme and demonstrate that they can meet the council’s quality requirements alongside a competitive price. The evaluation places the greater emphasis on price, while retaining a quality element, so suppliers with efficient procurement, installation and site-management arrangements may be well placed to compete. The requirement is best suited to established flooring specialists with the practical workforce and delivery arrangements needed for a public building project.
