In plain English
Folkestone and Hythe District Council is looking for a contractor to repair and maintain the outside of their social housing properties over 2 years, starting April 2027. Work includes repointing, re-rendering, structural repairs and similar external envelope works. The initial contract is worth £875,000, potentially rising to £1,325,000 if extension periods are used.
What the buyer wants
• Carry out external building works to social housing properties including repointing, re-rendering, and structural remedies • Manage capital works to the external envelope of multiple properties • Potentially continue works for up to 12 months beyond the initial 2-year term if the council extends the contract
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: You must have proven experience delivering external building works contracts of similar scale and complexity for social housing or local authorities: most small sole traders without track record of £500k+ contracts will struggle to pass pre-qualification.
Always check the tender documents.
