Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames procured construction work for a new two-storey children’s care home at 17–19 Chamberlain Way, Surbiton, Surrey, KT6 6JH. The requirement was for a principal contractor to deliver the complete new-build project. The procurement falls within construction work (CPV 45000000) and the delivery location was Surbiton. The buyer is a local authority based in Kingston upon Thames. The project concerns specialist public-sector accommodation for children, so relevant businesses are those able to undertake substantial building work and coordinate delivery of a complete care-home development for a local authority. The requirement was presented as a single project rather than separate construction packages, although its associated lot is recorded as cancelled.

The procurement has reached completion through a restricted procedure using a selective method, with a dynamic purchasing system involved. The lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. Ermine Construction Services Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract value is £1,330,546.09, and it was signed on 22 May 2025. Evaluation placed 60% weighting on quality and 40% on price. Three bids were received, all from SMEs, and all were submitted electronically; the statistics also record three bids from non-EU suppliers and none from EU suppliers. The contracting process is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome information identifies one awarded supplier and one contract, without separate values for multiple lots or suppliers.

This procurement shows a local authority requirement for a complete new-build children’s care home delivered by a principal contractor, at a scale suited to an established SME construction business. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need experience managing two-storey public or community buildings, coordinating the full construction programme, and demonstrating dependable quality as well as competitive pricing. The evaluation weighting indicates that technical and delivery quality mattered more than price alone. Suppliers should therefore be able to present strong evidence of construction quality, project management, programme control and successful client outcomes. The electronic restricted-procedure route and participation by SMEs indicate that businesses with suitable capacity and a well-prepared tender response can compete through formal public-sector procurement.
