Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is overseeing a public procurement process for the "St Charles Kitchen Garden rebuild" project, focusing on the reconstruction of kitchen garden raised beds using recycled plastic sleepers. The process falls under the works industry category and is situated in London, specifically within the UKI3 region. This tender has reached the awarding and contract stage, with significant dates including its completion notice on 12th November 2025. The procurement method used is limited, reflecting a below-threshold, limited competition approach.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for SMEs, particularly those specialising in landscaping and garden reconstruction, to expand their business. The contract has been awarded to Ginkgo Landscape Contractors Limited, a London-based SME, indicating that similarly scaled enterprises with expertise in landscaping work could find success in such competitive tenders. The project not only supports business growth through involvement in public infrastructure but also highlights potential demand in sustainable construction practices using recycled materials.
