Incumbent suppliers were then invited to meet with the client contract manager on 25 February 2026 to inform them of the forthcoming tender process, gain insights into the market, discuss suggestions for the refreshed specification and suitable pricing document and how these might be used to best effect going forwards. This was particularly focussed on the logistics and processing of orders, in conjunction with West Kent's housing management system. (Residents of West Kent will be consulted, in accordance with Section 20 of the Landlords and Tenants Act 1985 (as amended), though nominations will not be requested, as the contract will be a Qualifying Long-Term Agreement where a Public Notice is issued (Schedule 2). Section 20 consultation therefore falls outside of the preliminary market engagement process.)",
