Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames has awarded a contract for the refurbishment of Latchmere School, a primary institution serving children aged 3 to 11, in Kingston upon Thames, UK. This procurement process is in the award stage with Cravencroft Limited as the appointed contractor. The refurbishment focuses on adapting the school to better accommodate students with severe and complex learning disabilities. The main category for this project is 'works', with the procurement carried out via a direct award method. Key project activities are scheduled from 1st August 2025 to 29th August 2025, with completion milestones targeted for September 2025.

The direct award method was chosen to leverage the supplier's extensive experience with the borough and ensure timely project delivery, reducing procurement risks significantly. This presents an excellent opportunity for SMEs, particularly those with experience in educational refurbishments and special educational needs, to showcase their ability to deliver tailored and high-quality projects. Businesses specialising in refurbishment work, especially those familiar with CPV code 45453100, would find opportunities to network and develop strategic partnerships for future procurements with local government bodies.
