## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames commissioned a multidisciplinary consultant team for the development of a heat pump and photovoltaic (PV) installation at Tolworth Recreation Centre in Kingston upon Thames. The work covers RIBA Stages 0–2: Strategic Definition, Preparation and Brief, and Concept Design. It supports the development of the building’s low-carbon heating and renewable electricity systems. An initial design concept and outline cost plan had already been prepared, so the appointed team’s role is to develop the project through the early design stages rather than begin the feasibility work from scratch. This is a professional design and engineering consultancy requirement, with heat-pump and PV expertise central to the project.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. Alliance Leisure Services Limited was selected for the single lot and signed the contract on 12 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £62,399.20 excluding VAT, or £74,879.04 including VAT. The contract is for Tolworth Recreation Centre’s heat pump and PV installation development. The published outcome identifies heat pumps as the classified item. The information sets out a single awarded supplier and a completed contracting process, rather than an opportunity still progressing through evaluation or awaiting a decision.

This outcome indicates demand from Kingston upon Thames for multidisciplinary teams able to take low-carbon building-services projects from strategic definition through concept design. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of heat-pump systems and photovoltaic installations, together with the ability to integrate them into an existing recreation-centre or comparable public building. The work also calls for competence in early-stage briefing, concept development and outline cost planning, not simply equipment supply or installation. Firms combining building-services engineering, renewable-energy design and cost-aware project development would be well placed to demonstrate relevance. The appointed supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that this requirement can suit a capable specialist consultancy of modest scale.
