## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames commissioned architectural design services for Sobraon House as part of its Kingston Small Sites 2 programme. The work covers RIBA Stages 0–2 and Stage 3, providing early-stage design and related architectural services for the site. The delivery address recorded is in Kingston upon Thames, with the postcode KT1 1EU. This is a professional services requirement, rather than a construction contract: the scope centres on design work for a specific housing site. The stated procurement category is architectural and related services (CPV 71200000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Levitt Bernstein Associates. The award was made on 8 April 2026, at a value of £400,000. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 6 October 2027. The original estimated tender value was also £400,000. The tender deadline was 25 March 2026 at 12:00. The procedure is described as “Other”; no further method detail is recorded. The available information does not state the evaluation criteria or identify separate lots. The award is active, and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates demand from Kingston Council for architectural services on a small-sites housing project, spanning early RIBA design stages through Stage 3. Suppliers aiming to compete for comparable work for this buyer would need to show they can develop site-specific designs across these stages and deliver a defined architectural commission through to the required design milestone. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller practice was capable of winning this particular contract, although the tender marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs. A credible competitor should be able to evidence relevant architectural design experience and the capacity to manage a project of similar scope. The work is focused on housing-site design, rather than general construction delivery or unrelated architectural services.
