This initiative is targeted for regeneration across key town centre locations in Dover, UK. Serving as the buyer, the Council is inviting interest from potential consultants through a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise. Interested parties need to request the PME document by contacting procurement@dover.gov.uk, and completed questionnaires must be returned to majorprojects@dover.gov.uk by noon on the 1st of July, 2026. The procurement is classified under industry categories for building and construction consultancy services and is valued at £300,000. The contract period is set to commence on the 1st of January, 2027, and conclude on the 30th of June, 2028, with possible renewals extending up to December 2028. This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialised in building and construction consultancy services. Firms offering robust expertise in urban regeneration, planning, and consulting in architectural design (RIBA stages 0-3) will find this project particularly suited to their skills. The contracting process not only allows firms to expand their portfolio in public sector consultancy but also offers a financial growth opportunity given the substantial contract value. Participation in the early market engagement phase could provide a competitive edge, facilitating a better understanding of project requirements and enabling tailoring of proposals accordingly. ## Notice Dover District Council (DDC) is undertaking a programme of regeneration across key town centre sites and is seeking to engage with the market in advance of procuring professional consultancy services.
