Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has awarded a contract for a characterisation study aimed at investigating development opportunities to meet housing needs in London. The study, valued at £37,500, will take place over a contract period from 11 November 2019 to 31 December 2020. This procurement was executed through the Council's electronic procurement platform, capitalEsourcing, with the process classified under urban planning services. The procurement method used was an open procedure, indicating that the opportunity was available to a wide range of suppliers, and it was published on 1 October 2019 with a tender period ending on 25 October 2019.

This opportunity is particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in urban planning and consultancy services, as the contract is tailored to address the pressing housing delivery challenges in the Borough. Businesses capable of conducting detailed character assessments, and providing evidence-based recommendations for development in an intensively built-up area, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The study will not only contribute to local housing solutions but also potentially pave the way for additional projects within the scope of the Borough's new Local Plan and the overarching London Plan.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Award of Contract - Characterisation Study

Notice Description

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has awarded a contract to provide an evidence-based study that will consider both the character of the Borough and the potential for delivering development to meet its housing need and the wider needs of London. It will investigate opportunities for intensification across small and larger sites. There is a pressing need for significantly more homes to be delivered in the Borough, particularly affordable homes in the context of the new Local Plan, the new London Plan and the Government's housing delivery test. Geographically, the Borough is the smallest in London (approximately 4.8 sq miles) but is intensively built up, much of which comprises of an outstanding Victorian townscape. Additional information: This procurement was executed through the Council's electronic procurement portal, capitalEsourcing.
