The project is intended to meet conservation standards while securing value for money. The buying organisation is the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Delivery is in Kingston upon Thames. This is a restoration project rather than a general building construction contract, so it is most relevant to firms experienced in repairing and conserving historic structures and fencing. The council is undertaking preliminary market engagement to understand what the market can deliver and to inform its planned procurement. The process is at the planning stage: the council has signalled its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It is using preliminary market engagement to explore market capability, innovative approaches, cost drivers and delivery timescales; participation in that engagement is separate from the later competition and will not affect a supplier’s ability to bid. The council expects to publish a future notice by 3 November 2026. The engagement milestone is scheduled for 27 October 2026. The estimated contract value is £250,000 excluding VAT (£274,999.96 including VAT). The planned contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement is arranged as one lot, and the council identifies it as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This preparatory engagement is particularly relevant to contractors with experience restoring historic fencing or comparable heritage structures, including teams able to work to conservation standards. Suppliers with practical knowledge of restoration methods, suitable materials, site delivery and the factors that affect cost and programme are well placed to contribute useful market insight. The council is seeking information on market capability, innovative approaches, cost drivers and realistic delivery timescales, alongside its conservation and value-for-money objectives. The work may also suit smaller contractors and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which the council identifies as suitable for the procurement. Use the engagement to help the council shape its requirements and prepare for the later competition; taking part does not determine eligibility to bid when the procurement proceeds. The planned work is a focused restoration project rather than a broad construction programme. ## Notice The Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames (RBK) is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to inform the upcoming procurement for the restoration of a historically significant fence. This process will help us understand market capabilities, innovative approaches, cost drivers, and delivery timescales, ensuring the project meets both conservation standards and value-for-money objectives. Participation in this PME is not part of the formal procurement process and will not affect your ability to bid in the future. ### Planning Information The Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames (RBK) is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to inform the upcoming procurement for the restoration of a historically significant fence.
