## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent intends to procure cost consultancy services for Kent Police. The requirement covers independent cost consultancy, construction feasibility assessments, construction strategy support and project management support. It is a professional services contract focused on quantity surveying and the financial and strategic management of construction projects. The work will support Kent Police’s construction-related activities and is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom, including the South East of England. Suppliers specialising in cost consultancy, quantity surveying, construction feasibility and project management for public-sector or complex estate programmes may be relevant. The requirement is presented as one overall service lot rather than separate packages, so a supplier should be able to address the combined consultancy scope or participate through an appropriate delivery arrangement.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced its intention to procure but has not issued an invitation to tender. The expected procedure is an above-threshold tender for services, with an estimated value of £500,000 excluding VAT and £600,000 including VAT. The planned contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with the possibility of renewal or extension to 28 November 2031. The procurement comprises one lot covering the full cost consultancy requirement. Preliminary market engagement is scheduled, with a planned date of 4 September 2026 for supplier involvement. The buyer has not yet set out final tender deadlines or evaluation criteria. Suppliers should therefore treat the dates and proposed arrangements as indicative while preparing for the future competition.

This requirement is likely to suit established cost consultants, quantity surveying practices and multidisciplinary construction consultancies able to provide independent advice across feasibility, construction strategy, project management and cost control. Relevant suppliers will need the technical capacity to assess construction options, develop or test project costs, support strategic decisions and provide project management input for a police organisation. Experience of construction programmes, estates work or other complex public-sector environments would position a supplier well, particularly where projects require independent cost assurance and coordinated professional advice. The combined scope may favour a consultancy with a broad in-house team, or a lead supplier with reliable specialist partners. Businesses should use the planning period to review their evidence, resources and proposed delivery model before the procurement reaches the tender stage.
