Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames is procuring reclamation and landscaping works at Shacklegate Lane Cemetery in Teddington. The project will extend the cemetery onto former allotment land, creating additional burial capacity as a natural continuation of the existing cemetery. The requirement is classified as cemetery landscaping work and falls within the works category. Delivery is at Shacklegate Lane Cemetery, Teddington. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The opportunity covers the physical works needed to reclaim and prepare the former allotment land for its new cemetery use, rather than the supply of goods or a standalone professional service.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single procurement lot, with electronic submission allowed through the council’s e-sourcing arrangements. Enquiries were due by 5 October 2026 at 12:00 and tenders were due by 19 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 8 November 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its estimated value is £228,000 excluding VAT, or £273,600 including VAT. Offers will be evaluated on price at 60%, non-price quality at 30% and social value at 10%. The published procurement is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized contractors with practical experience in cemetery landscaping, land reclamation and preparing former allotment land for burial use. Businesses should be able to deliver physical works that integrate with an existing cemetery and support the creation of additional burial capacity. The evaluation gives substantial weight to price, but 40% is assigned to non-price quality and social value, so bidders need to show more than a competitive cost. Firms with an established works-delivery team, suitable site-management capability and experience working in sensitive cemetery or comparable public-realm environments are likely to be well placed. The requirement is a focused, short-duration works package rather than a long-term service contract.
