## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, acting as buyer, initiated a procurement process to provide Warm Packs and Cool Packs to residents across its borough, as well as Westminster City Council and the London Borough of Camden. This initiative, crucial for the wellbeing of vulnerable households, falls under the goods category. It was guided by UK legislation, specifically 2023/54, and utilized a limited procurement method denoting below-threshold limited competition. The contract, valued at £67,991.95 gross, was awarded on 10 March 2026, with the fulfilment period spanning from 22 April 2026 to 21 April 2027. The procurement stage has been successfully completed, with Ark -H appointed as the supplier and the project primarily addressed to the UKI33 region.

This tender creates significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in goods related to emergency support, household items, and temperature-regulating materials like blankets, seals, and packaging. With the stated objective of supporting residents against extreme weather, SMEs providing innovative solutions in these areas are well-suited to compete for similar contracts. The established distribution network across key London boroughs offers an avenue for business growth, allowing qualified suppliers to serve a broad range of communities, enhance brand exposure, and potentially secure recurring engagements with local councils.
