The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, a national authority based in London, has completed the procurement for the construction of a new Learning Centre. This project falls under the 'Construction work' industry category and adheres to the open procurement method. The most recent stage of the process is the contract award stage, with the contract valued at £8,490,000. The contract was awarded on 8th November 2024.
