## Summary

The procurement process for the "STA Hive Maintenance" contract has been completed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, based in Richmond, England. This project falls under the category of repair and maintenance services, specifically aimed at the specialist maintenance of "The Hive" installation at Kew Gardens. The procurement was initiated through a direct method involving a single tender action for a contract valued at £48,000, with the contract period running from 23rd December 2018 to 23rd December 2022. The tender period ended on 20th December 2018.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses engaged in maintenance services, especially those with expertise in horticultural environments or heritage properties. Given that the procurement was not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, larger service providers and contractors with the capacity to execute similar specialist maintenance tasks would be well-positioned to compete for similar future tenders.
