Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames has completed a procurement process titled "Memorial Gardens", under the services category focused on architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. This procurement falls under the CPV code 71000000 and is located in the UK region UKI63. The process followed a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure, and was part of a broader initiative to enhance local town centres, in alignment with council priorities outlined in the Kingston Town Centre Vision and Tolworth Station masterplan. The contract was awarded to Blakedown Landscapes Ltd on 7th October 2025, valued at £350,000, and the project supports the Council’s commitment to regenerative infrastructure projects.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in landscaping, urban design, and public realm construction services. Companies with expertise in delivering high-quality urban transformations and possessing the ability to integrate complex public infrastructure and workspace schemes would be particularly well-suited to compete for contracts of this nature. With a procurement emphasis on quality over price, as demonstrated by the 60/40 quality-to-price ratio, there is potential for businesses to leverage their innovative solutions and premium services to effectively fulfil council's urban development visions.
