Folkestone and Hythe: contracts, suppliers and what is coming next.
Folkestone and Hythe is a district council in the South East. We hold 297 of its award notices, 36 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 1 committee paper from the last 120 days that talk about buying. Everything here comes from public records: award notices the council itself published, and the papers it publishes before each committee meeting.
Data updated: 20 September 2026 (committee papers) | 18 September 2026 (award notices)
GovLeads reads Folkestone and Hythe's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 284 of those 297 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

Biggest suppliers

| Clear Channel UK Ltd | £11.0m | 2 |
| NRT Group (registered as NRT Building Services Group Ltd.) | £8.9m | 6 |

Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Folkestone and Hythe has notified in the last year. Awards sharing a title and end date are collapsed into a single row, so a framework or dynamic purchasing system appears once rather than once per supplier.

How the money is awarded
73% of Folkestone and Hythe's awarded value went through open competition and 11% was awarded directly. Directly awarded work is the part of the market that never reaches a competitive notice, so it is the part you have to see coming upstream.
- Competed 73% (£125m)
- Other/Unspecified 13% (£21.9m)
- Direct 11% (£18.7m)
- Framework/DPS 3% (£5.7m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Folkestone and Hythe, of those with an end date inside 18 months. A re-procurement decision normally reaches a committee months before the contract itself runs out, which is the point at which scope is still moveable, so the months-left column matters as much as the value.
| Ends | Months left | Contract | Supplier | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 Mar 2027 | 6 | UPVC Windows and Doors Replacement Programme and Associated Works | Specialist Building Contracting Ltd | £2.9m |
| 31 Mar 2027 | 6 | Pitched Roofing and Associated Work for Social Housing 2025-27 | Highview Group | £2.8m |
| 7 Jan 2027 | 3 | Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) for Social Housing 2024-27 | NRT Group (registered as NRT Building Services Group Ltd.) | £2.1m |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Folkestone and Hythe published in the last four months whose title uses the language of buying: a tender, an award, an extension, a gateway report, a waiver, or a procurement strategy, policy or performance report. It is a title match, so the odd paper lands here on a word rather than a decision.
| Meeting | Paper | Committee |
|---|---|---|
| 29 Jul 2026 | AuG report - CSOs and Waivers July 2026…Insufficient number of responses to Requests for Quotations (RFQ) with insufficient time to retender 7 Unable to identify suitable alternative products/services or limited market in local area 5 Appointment of Kent County Council or other local authority 4 Timing or… | Audit and Governance Committee |

Where Folkestone and Hythe spends most
The service areas taking the largest share of awarded value here. Each one has its own page explaining what we watch for.
Where this comes from
Awards, suppliers and expiry dates come from award notices published to Contracts Finder and Find a Tender by Folkestone and Hythe. The award data set was last refreshed on 18 September 2026, so notices published since then are not yet counted here. Values are as notified; where a notice names several suppliers, the value is shared across them.
Committee papers and meeting dates come from Folkestone and Hythe's own published papers, at https://folkestone-hythe.moderngov.co.uk. Every paper linked above is on the council's own site. Committee-paper figures were extracted on 20 September 2026.
What we leave out. A notice naming more than one buying authority is excluded, because it does not say how the value splits between them. So are notices from bodies that share this council's name but are separate organisations, such as the local college or NHS trust. Both would otherwise be counted here as Folkestone and Hythe's.
Nothing on this page is modelled, estimated or inferred. Every number is a count or a sum over those two public sources. Where a figure would be a guess, it is left out.
