Summary of the contracting process

Ebbsfleet Development Corporation procured a hosting organisation to establish and manage the Ebbsfleet Design Forum and Community Design Forum. This is a business-services contract covering the organisation and ongoing management of two design forums, delivered in Ebbsfleet.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to FRAME PROJECTS LIMITED. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 21 October 2026 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend by a further 12 months, to 31 March 2030. The contract value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT).

For suppliers competing when this requirement next comes to market, the relevant capability is to set up and manage both a development-area design forum and a community design forum.
