This procurement falls under the industry category of construction project management services and focuses on improvements to the Cholsey Boathouse. The contract was awarded on 6th January 2026 with Bidwells, a large organisation, acting as the supplier. The contract period will commence on 25th January 2026 and conclude on 6th January 2027.

The project location extends across the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and potentially the Rest of the World, indicating a broad geographical scope for service delivery.

This tender presents an array of opportunities for businesses specialising in construction project management services. Companies with experience in managing significant infrastructural improvements, particularly those capable of working across different locations and handling large-scale projects, will find similar tenders beneficial to pursue.
