UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Richmond upon Thames commissioned consultancy services for the Teddington Allotments Reclamation Works. The requirement covers services at RIBA Stages 4 and 5, together with project management support for the reclamation works. In practical terms, this is a built-environment consultancy assignment involving the development and delivery stages of an allotment reclamation project, rather than the physical construction works themselves. The service category is architectural, engineering and planning consultancy. The work is centred on Teddington, within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority. The selected supplier, CDS Group, is a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in the consultancy services required for this project.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly to CDS Group without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award was made on 11 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 11 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £44,345.69 excluding VAT, or £53,214.83 including VAT. The award covers the single allotments reclamation requirement. The evaluation route was therefore a direct award rather than a competitive assessment of tenders. CDS Group is the appointed supplier. The contract remains active, and the procurement record identifies the requirement as complete at tender and award stage.

This procurement demonstrates that London Borough of Richmond upon Thames buys specialist consultancy support for allotment reclamation projects, including design development and project management through RIBA Stages 4 and 5. A competitor seeking comparable work from this buyer would need capability in architectural, engineering and planning services, with the technical ability to support the later design and construction stages of a reclamation scheme. It would also need to provide project management support alongside professional consultancy services, rather than offering construction alone. The award to an SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist consultancy with the capacity to manage a defined public-sector project.
