## Summary

Ashford Borough Council initiated a procurement process for Estates and Facilities Management Services for International House, located in Ashford, Kent. Initially launched with the title "Estates and Facilities Management for International House," under tender ID "ASH/25/239," this tender falls under the industry category of Facilities Management Services. The procurement process began in April 2026 with an anticipated contract period starting from 1st October 2026 and ending on 30th September 2029, potentially extending to 2031. The tender utilised an open procurement method, allowing electronic submissions through the Delta eSourcing portal.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were identified as suitable for bidding, with evaluation criteria balancing price and quality, emphasising the importance of interviews.
