Summary of the contracting process

Dover District Council is seeking a multidisciplinary lead consultant team to progress key regeneration projects in Dover town centre. The work is building and construction consultancy, including building services and project management consultancy (CPV 71315200). The appointed team will support the Council’s town-centre regeneration programme. Delivery is in Dover, Kent.

The Council invited tenders through an open procedure. This is a single-lot services contract, with an estimated value of £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). The contract is due to run from 11 January 2027 to 31 March 2028. The deadline for questions was 12:00 on 23 October 2026; tenders were due by 12:00 on 6 November 2026. The stated evaluation weighting is 70% quality and 30% price. The planned award decision date was 7 December 2026.

This opportunity is suited to multidisciplinary consultancy teams able to support town-centre regeneration projects, combining building consultancy, building services expertise, construction consultancy and project management. The Council has indicated that the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller consultancies may be relevant bidders, including through a suitably capable team. The quality-led evaluation makes the strength of the proposed approach and relevant professional capability important alongside price. The requirement is for a lead consultant team supporting multiple key regeneration projects, making experience coordinating consultancy inputs and progressing complex town-centre work commercially relevant. The available information does not set out specific accreditations or staffing levels as requirements.
