The plan will cover the past, present and future of the designed landscape at Wakehurst including the period since Kew took over management in 1965 to the present day. In 2018 Kew's strategic objective for Wakehurst was to be a 'world-leading botanic garden' which requires purpose and ambition beyond the local leisure market - an approach epitomised by the transformative and celebrated Millennium Seed Bank, constructed in 2000. To grow this vision further and make it reality, Kew have spent the last four years developing a robust masterplan for Wakehurst, which sets out a clear strategic path to grow the site into a world leading botanic garden with a focus on science and education. The aim is to transition the site from the local to the national stage becoming an exemplar attraction and world leader in horticultural research. In June 2010, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew commissioned a Landscape Conservation Management Plan (CMP) for the estate at Wakehurst Place comprising of the historic gardens, parkland and outlying woodlands. The CMP provided extensive background documentation with regards to the attributes of significance. It studies the historic development of the estate, the importance of its tree collections, its Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the nature reserves. It considers the impact of the estate's past owners and their management, assesses the sites current condition and draws conclusions of the site's overall significance. Since the plan was approved, significant changes in the future direction of Wakehurst as Kew's wild botanic garden and living laboratory research station have occurred. It is timely to review the existing plan and to update the detail to consider the future direction of Wakehurst. Some new historic research has recently been carried out and this detailed report will be available to help inform the new CMP. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8b61b59-9d23-4bac-8618-e6bcc248eb68 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jan 2025 | | Submission deadline | 12 Feb 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Mar 2025 - 10 Jun 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS, KEW | | Locality | RICHMOND | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW9 3AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Richmond upon Thames | | Electoral ward | Kew | | Westminster constituency | Richmond Park | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71400000 - Urban planning and landscape architectural services ## Release History - 27 Jan 2025 at 12:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8b61b59-9d23-4bac-8618-e6bcc248eb68 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8b61b59-9d23-4bac-8618-e6bcc248eb68 27th January 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-LONDON:-RBGKEW1394---Landscape-Conservation-Management-Plan/FB42EHMX58 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
