The Royal Parks have identified the facilities located in the Roehampton Gate Car Park as being a priority for redevelopment. There is currently a small café building with adjacent catering kiosk, a cycle hire facility with a separate storage shed, and public toilets provided in two temporary modular buildings. All of these are of very poor quality and require replacing in the near future. This project is for the replacement of these facilities . The site is iconic very popular. The site is located at the north-east edge of Richmond Park, close to Roehampton Gate which is to the north of the site, and which is the closest access point to the park. The Alton Primary School is to the north-east beyond the park boundary and the Richmond Park Golf Course to the south-east. The existing car park is separated from the wider park by Priory Lane which forms part of the network of roads within Richmond Park, giving access to the car parks and forming a circular route for cyclists. Adjacent to Priory Lane is the Tamsin Trail, a running and cycling path which goes around the whole 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 Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), acting on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), is planning a procurement for the secure processing and resale of surplus MPS IT equipment, comprising of Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 2 laptops. The requirement will cover a fully managed, end‑to‑end service, including secure collection, processing, grading, controlled resale, rebate management, and management information reporting. Devices will be released in phased tranches, rather than as a single bulk disposal. Due to compressed timescales and the need to mitigate asset depreciation, security, and reputational risk, the Authority anticipates requiring a supplier capable of immediate mobilisation on contract award, with no reliance on an extended transition or familiarisation period. The Authority expects that suppliers likely to be suitable for this requirement will have prior experience delivering comparable services within the MPS or a UK policing or policing‑grade public sector environment.

The Office of the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner wants to commission an Enterprising for Employment service for Birmingham. This initiative will provide a personalised, effective mentoring service for individuals associated with criminality, to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to be employable and/or an entrepreneur.

The British Business Bank (BBB) is the UK’s economic development bank, with a mission to make finance markets work better for smaller businesses. BBB typically operates on a wholesale basis, partnering with lenders within the existing financial ecosystem to increase the supply, diversity, and regional reach of finance available to UK SMEs. Start Up Loans (SUL) provides debt finance to support working capital and growth for the smallest and earliest stage businesses, driving sustainable growth and unlocking potential. Without SUL, BBB would be unable to support many entrepreneurs requiring the right type of finance to start and grow their businesses. Under the current operating model, SUL relies on a complex internal technology landscape combined with significant dependence on third party systems for loan disbursement, servicing, collections, and recoveries. This reliance restricts BBB’s ability to scale and to deliver a fully integrated and efficient lending operation. BBB therefore will become a direct lender and seek to procure a comprehensive Loan Management System (LMS) capable of fully supporting the organisation’s transition to inhouse lending operations. Tenderers are also directed to the Specification for the Project Requirements, as set out in Appendix 6 (Specification) of the Invitation To Participate (ITP).
