Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames commissioned drainage remedial works at the rear of Coombe Hill Infant and Junior School. The purpose is to reduce flooding of the playing field caused by an existing underground spring. This is a civil engineering and drainage works requirement, including sewage and drainage infrastructure work (CPV 45232420), at the school in Kingston upon Thames. The work concerns a specific school site and the management of water arising from an underground spring, rather than general school maintenance.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Cravencroft Limited. The award is active, and the contract is also active and signed. The borough used limited competition below the applicable threshold, with one lot. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026 and runs from 26 October to 18 December 2026. Its value is £132,202 excluding VAT, or £158,642.40 including VAT. The published award information identifies drainage works at Coombe Hill Infant and Junior School; no separate evaluation criteria or scoring basis is recorded in the procurement details.

This award shows demand from the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames for targeted drainage remediation at a school site, where an underground spring is causing playing-field flooding. Suppliers with practical civil engineering and drainage capability, including experience with sewage and drainage infrastructure, would be well placed to compete when this specific requirement returns to market. Credibility would depend on being able to diagnose and address the source of water ingress and deliver remedial work at an operational school, while meeting the borough’s requirements for a limited-competition procurement. The selected supplier is a small business, demonstrating that this scale of works can be delivered by an SME; the work is a defined, single-site project rather than a broad maintenance programme.
