## Summary

The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe commissioned consultancy services for an amendment to the outline planning application for the Ship Street development in Folkestone. The work concerns planning submission amendments and associated architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. Delivery is in Folkestone, within the council’s area in Kent. The buying organisation is the District Council of Folkestone and Hythe. This is a professional services requirement rather than a construction contract: the appointed supplier supports the council’s planning and development work by revising an existing submission for the Ship Street scheme. The opportunity is therefore relevant to consultancies with experience of planning applications and multidisciplinary built-environment advice.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a direct award below the applicable threshold, conducted without competition. OVE ARUP & PARTNERS LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 7 September 2027. Its value is £90,618 excluding VAT, or £108,741 including VAT. The award covers services classified as architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The published requirement described the contract as consultancy support for amending the planning submission for the Ship Street development. The contract is active, and the award to Arup remains active.

This procurement shows Folkestone and Hythe Council’s demand for specialist consultancy support during the planning and development of a named local scheme. Competitors would need credible experience of amending outline planning applications and preparing or supporting planning submissions, rather than only delivering physical construction. The requirement also points to value in multidisciplinary built-environment capability spanning architecture, construction, engineering and inspection advice. A supplier seeking similar work from this buyer would be better placed with a team able to coordinate technical disciplines, understand the planning process and provide clear, reliable advice on development proposals. The appointed provider was a large consultancy, indicating that capacity to manage a year-long council commission may matter when this type of requirement returns.
