## Summary

Dover District Council is procuring refurbishment and construction works for four vacant, council-owned dwellings. The scope is described as void refurbishment works, covering construction work and associated repair and maintenance services. Delivery is in the Dover area, Kent. This is a works contract suited to building contractors and refurbishment specialists able to renovate empty residential properties and complete associated repairs. The council is the buying organisation and will use the completed works to bring its vacant housing stock back into use. The opportunity is a single requirement rather than a series of separately described work packages, with the published scope applying across the four dwellings.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. Bids could be submitted electronically. Enquiries were due by 7 October 2026 at 23:59, and offers were due by 14 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 9 November 2026 to 22 February 2027. Its estimated value is £160,000 excluding VAT, or £192,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and the opportunity is suitable for SMEs. Award will be based on 80% price and 20% quality. The contract is for works, with the procurement classified as below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits SMEs and established building or property-refurbishment contractors with the capability to carry out comprehensive void works across four council dwellings. Relevant suppliers are likely to be able to coordinate multiple residential refurbishment tasks, manage repair and maintenance activities, and deliver construction work to the required quality within a defined programme. It may suit contractors with experience returning vacant social or council housing to occupation, including firms that can provide a reliable site team, trades and project supervision. Businesses able to demonstrate sound quality management, accurate pricing and practical delivery planning will be well placed, because quality contributes 20% of the assessment alongside the stronger 80% price weighting.
