Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is in the Award stage of the procurement process for the "RBGKEW1324 - Summer Commission 2025" project. This contract, classified under Design Consultancy Services, seeks a design agency, artist, or creative collective to lead the creation of a new major commission for summer 2025 at Kew Gardens in London. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure which commenced in an accelerated manner due to the cancellation of the original project, ensuring sufficient time for project delivery in 2025. Key deadlines included a submission end date of 15th July 2024, followed by the award start date on the same day. The winning bidder, Jingo Juice Ltd t/a Marshmallow Laser Feast, has been awarded the contract valued at £550,000, which was signed on 16th August 2024.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for businesses in the design and creative sectors, especially those specialising in artistic installations and large-scale design projects. Small or medium enterprises (SMEs) would find this tender particularly suitable due to its nature and scope, presenting an excellent growth opportunity. The work involves significant creative input and promises high visibility, given Kew Gardens' prestigious status and high visitor numbers during the summer months. Interested businesses should note that the procurement method was open, favouring quality and price criteria, and required both electronic and written submissions.
