UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Parks is procuring conservation architect services for its parks and heritage assets across the United Kingdom. The work covers condition surveys of listed assets, recommendations for maintenance and remedial works, and ad hoc conservation advice for urgent issues such as damage or vandalism. The appointed architect will also provide conservation architect services through all RIBA work stages for projects involving both listed and non-listed heritage assets. The requirement is for advisory architectural services relating to buildings of particular historical or architectural interest, including architectural services for building extensions. The buyer is The Royal Parks, based at Hyde Park in London, and the work relates to assets managed within its parks.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It uses two stages, beginning with a preliminary selection questionnaire and conditions of participation, followed by a tender. Enquiries had to be submitted by 26 August 2026 at 12:00, and expressions of interest by 9 September 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value is £5,250,000 excluding VAT, or £6,300,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2031, with an option to extend by two years to 3 January 2033. Award is scheduled for 1 December 2026. Quality carries 60% of the evaluation and price 40%.

This opportunity suits conservation architects and architectural practices with experience assessing and maintaining listed heritage assets, advising on urgent conservation issues, and leading heritage projects through the full range of RIBA work stages. Suppliers should be able to provide condition surveys, identify appropriate maintenance and remedial works, and give practical advice when buildings or other assets are damaged or vandalised. Experience across both listed and non-listed heritage assets is relevant, as the commission covers both. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may suit an SME with the specialist conservation capability and capacity to support a substantial, multi-year programme of work for a national parks organisation.
