The project is intended to conserve the fence while achieving value for money. The procurement is classified as building construction work (CPV 45210000). Delivery is in Kingston upon Thames, within the borough. This is a single package of works, with no further breakdown of the restoration tasks described at this stage. The council is undertaking preliminary market engagement to understand what the market can deliver, including approaches to restoration and the factors affecting cost and delivery timescales. Suppliers with relevant conservation construction expertise may therefore find the project of interest, subject to the detailed scope and requirements emerging from the engagement and subsequent procurement. The process is at planning: the council has set out its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to publish a further notice on 3 November 2026. The anticipated contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated estimated value is £250,000 excluding VAT (£274,999.96 including VAT). The council is conducting preliminary market engagement to inform the forthcoming procurement, understand market capabilities and innovative approaches, and establish cost drivers and delivery timescales. This engagement is separate from the formal procurement and participation will not affect suppliers’ ability to bid later. The future procedure, eligibility requirements and evaluation criteria have not yet been set out as settled arrangements. The work is likely to suit construction and restoration contractors able to work on historically significant fencing and deliver to conservation standards. Suppliers with experience balancing heritage-sensitive methods with practical delivery and value for money are well placed to contribute to the market engagement and prepare for the later competition. The council is seeking insight into available capabilities, innovative restoration approaches, cost drivers and realistic delivery timescales, so businesses able to explain their methods, constraints and cost considerations may help shape a workable specification. The planned contract is a focused, several-month restoration project rather than an ongoing service. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises are marked as suitable for the procurement. No particular accreditation or qualification is identified at this planning stage. Participation in the engagement is not part of the formal tender and will not prevent a supplier from bidding later. ## 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.
