Framework 2 Project Support Services 2026-2030
Authority: The Royal Parks Ltd (Public body)
What is being bought2 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThe Royal Parks (TRP) has retendered a Framework contract for Project Support Services, which is split into two Lots: (1) Architectural/Lead Design/Principal Designer/BREEAM services and (2) Quantity Surveyor services. This follows a decision not to award these Lots under a previous procurement. Following completion of the retender exercise , the decision has now been taken to award the contracts.
This new framework will run alongside an existing one covering other disciplines.
The Royal Parks charity manages over 5,000 acres of historic parkland across eight major London parks, working to protect and enhance these spaces. It focuses on conserving wildlife, preserving heritage sites, and maintaining accessible green spaces for public enjoyment now and in the future.
Appointed suppliers will support TRP’s Estates & Projects Directorate in delivering a wide range of construction related projects across a diverse estate, including historic and modern assets, covering activities such as new build, refurbishment, regeneration, conservation, maintenance, plant replacement, and demolition.
TRP may use this framework to procure services for projects across all eight Royal Parks but is not obligated to do so. It also retains the right to run separate, non-framework competitions for specific or highly bespoke projects where broader competition is needed.

Published award criteria (2)
- Criterion 1
- Criterion 2
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Framework 2 Project Support Services 2026-2030” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
