Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Parks Ltd commissioned main construction works to replace the poor-quality facilities at Roehampton Gate Car Park, on the north-east edge of Richmond Park in London. The scheme covers a café building and adjacent catering kiosk, a cycle-hire facility with separate storage, and public toilets currently housed in temporary modular buildings. The work includes building construction, restaurant or similar leisure-facility construction, drainage, road works and footpath works. The site sits beside Priory Lane and the Tamsin Trail, within Richmond Park, a nationally and internationally important nature-conservation and historic landscape. This is a works contract for redevelopment of visitor facilities used by park visitors, cyclists and other members of the public. The buyer is The Royal Parks Ltd, a public authority responsible for managing the Royal Parks.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 17 September 2026 to City Axis Limited. It used a selective competitive flexible procedure with conditions of participation at Stage 1 and an invitation to tender at Stage 2; further stages could be used as an option. Four bids were received, with one bid reaching the final stage. The expression-of-interest deadline was 7 May 2026, enquiries closed on 22 April 2026 and the award period ended on 16 September 2026. The award is worth £5,225,545.67 excluding VAT and £6,270,654.80 including VAT. The awarded contract period is 1 November 2026 to 1 January 2028, with signature scheduled by 30 September 2026. Price and quality each carried 50% of the evaluation weighting.

This procurement indicates demand from The Royal Parks for substantial visitor-facility redevelopment in a sensitive public park setting. Suppliers suited to a future requirement would need credible capability in building cafés, restaurants or comparable leisure facilities, together with associated drainage, access-road and footpath works. Experience coordinating several facility types on one constrained site would be relevant, particularly where works affect public access, cyclists, park operations and nearby protected or historic landscapes. The selection process required evidence of financial standing and insurance levels at the participation stage, alongside scored technical responses. A competitor would therefore need demonstrable construction delivery experience, robust financial capacity, suitable insurance cover and a clear technical method. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the awarded supplier was a large organisation.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Roehampton Gate Cafe - Main Construction Works

Notice Description

This will be a two stage process with conditions of participation Stage 1 and ITT Stage 2. Further stages may be an option. The Royal Parks have identified the facilities located in the Roehampton Gate Car Park as being a priority for redevelopment. There is currently a small cafe building with adjacent catering kiosk, a cycle hire facility with a separate storage shed, and public toilets provided in two temporary modular buildings. All of these are of very poor quality and require replacing in the near future. This contract is for the replacement of these facilities. The site is iconic very popular. The site is located at the north-east edge of Richmond Park, close to Roehampton Gate which is to the north of the site, and which is the closest access point to the park. The Alton Primary School is to the north-east beyond the park boundary and the Richmond Park Golf Course to the south-east. The existing car park is separated from the wider park by Priory Lane which forms part of the network of roads within Richmond Park, giving access to the car parks and forming a circular route for cyclists. Adjacent to Priory Lane is the Tamsin Trail, a running and cycling path which goes around the whole park. Richmond Park is the largest of London's Royal Parks, covering an area of 2,500 acres, and has enjoyed a long and rich history as a Royal Park since being enclosed as a deer park in 1637 by Charles I. The Park is of national and international importance for wildlife conservation and is a National Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and a Special Area of Conservation. It is also included on Historic England's Register of Historic Parks and Gardens as Grade I.
