## Summary

The Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the "Thanet Hub" project, which falls under the category of Architectural and related services (CPV code 71200000). The procurement was conducted using a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition due to urgent time constraints. The project involves feasibility options for a new Estates Office Building, covering professional architecture, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and public health consultancy services. The contract, awarded for £280,951.86 to Hunter & Partners, was signed on 1st August 2024. The procurement stage is complete, and the services are to be delivered in the South East region of the United Kingdom (UKJ).

This opportunity represents significant business growth potential for firms specialising in comprehensive architecture and consultancy services. Businesses like Hunter & Partners, which can mobilise swiftly and meet stringent timelines, are particularly well-suited for such contracts. The ability to handle diverse elements—from design and planning to implementation of civil, structural, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) services—makes firms in the architectural and project management sectors prime candidates. Companies with a proven track record in delivering within tight schedules without compromising on quality will find this type of tendering beneficial for showcasing their expertise and securing future public sector projects.
