Authority: The Royal Parks Ltd (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Royal Parks is seeking a supplier to provide the build works on a new and exciting project at Roehampton in Richmond Park. This project will be the Main Building works contract for Roehampton Restored. This shall be a BREEAM Excellent Café development located by Roehampton Gate in Richmond Park.
Richmond Park is the largest of London’s Royal Parks, covering an area of 2,500 acres, and has enjoyed a long and rich history as a Royal Park since being
enclosed as a deer park in 1637 by Charles I. The Park is of national and international importance for wildlife conservation and is a National Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and a Special Area of Conservation. It is also included on Historic England's Register of Historic Parks and Gardens as Grade I.
The scheme offers the opportunity to significantly improve the quality of the facilities offered to visitors to the Richmond Park while also improving the
landscape setting of the Roehampton Gate Car Park in which the facilities sit.
By combining the café, kiosk, public toilets, and bike hire facilities into two linked buildings, nestled into the landscape at the center of the car park, and creating a new space in front of the building separated from the cars, a modern facility that meets the expectations of the contemporary park visitor can be provided.
The new buildings have been designed to sit quietly within the landscape of the site, enhancing the immediate environment while limiting any impact on the wider park.
Please note this is a Planned Procurement notice (UK3) and not a tender notice. The tender notice will be published approximately in line with Dates specified in this notice, but could be subject change.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Here, local means registered in Greater London (authority’s region).
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered outside Greater London.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 89 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.
Past bids do not predict this tender.

How did awards compare with estimates?

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
