In plain English

Dover District Council wants to appoint a consultant to carry out fire risk assessments for the council. The contract is estimated at £120,000 and would run from 3 March 2027 to 2 March 2030, with the option to extend for up to two more years in one-year steps.

What the buyer wants

• Appoint a consultant to provide fire risk assessments that meet the council's requirements • Submit a full tender electronically through the Kent Business Portal by 12:00 on 7 December 2026 • Express interest only through the Kent Business Portal, with the contract running from 3 March 2027 to 2 March 2030 and extendable by up to two years

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no specific qualifications, insurance or turnover requirements, but the £120,000 value over a possible five years and the need to submit a full electronic tender through the Kent Business Portal would most likely rule out very small firms without tendering experience.

Always check the tender documents.
