## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is conducting a procurement process titled "RBK Greenspace Services," focused on parks maintenance services within the borough. This competitive dialogue procedure is currently at the tender stage, with a contract value of £18,200,000 and an extensive duration of seven years, plus an option for a seven-year extension, potentially extending the contract to a maximum of 14 years.
