The work is building and construction consultancy, including building services and project management consultancy (CPV 71315200). The appointed team will support the Council’s town-centre regeneration programme. Delivery is in Dover, Kent. The Council invited tenders through an open procedure. This is a single-lot services contract, with an estimated value of £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). The contract is due to run from 11 January 2027 to 31 March 2028. The deadline for questions was 12:00 on 23 October 2026; tenders were due by 12:00 on 6 November 2026. The stated evaluation weighting is 70% quality and 30% price. The planned award decision date was 7 December 2026. This opportunity is suited to multidisciplinary consultancy teams able to support town-centre regeneration projects, combining building consultancy, building services expertise, construction consultancy and project management. The Council has indicated that the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller consultancies may be relevant bidders, including through a suitably capable team. The quality-led evaluation makes the strength of the proposed approach and relevant professional capability important alongside price. The requirement is for a lead consultant team supporting multiple key regeneration projects, making experience coordinating consultancy inputs and progressing complex town-centre work commercially relevant. The available information does not set out specific accreditations or staffing levels as requirements. ## Notice Dover District Council wishes to appoint a multidisciplinary Lead Consultant Team to support the progression of key regeneration projects within Dover Town Centre and invites Tenderers to submit a Tender to meet the Council's requirements. The Contract is anticipated to commence 11th January 2027 and end 31st March 2028 (unless terminated earlier by the Council).
