Richmond upon Thames: what its committee papers say about buying, and who supplies it.
Richmond upon Thames is a London borough. We hold 51 of its award notices, 2 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 4 committee papers from the last 120 days that talk about buying. Everything here comes from public records: award notices the council itself published, and the papers it publishes before each committee meeting.
Data updated: 20 September 2026 (committee papers) | 18 September 2026 (award notices)
GovLeads reads Richmond upon Thames's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 10 of those 51 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

| Continental Landscapes Ltd | £42.0m | 2 |
| Newport Recycling Limited | £32.0m | 4 |
| Kier Construction | £1.8m | 1 |

Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Richmond upon Thames has notified in the last year. Awards sharing a title and end date are collapsed into a single row, so a framework or dynamic purchasing system appears once rather than once per supplier.

How the money is awarded
How Richmond upon Thames's awarded value splits across procurement routes. No Richmond upon Thames notice in our records is flagged as a direct award. That is what the published notices say, not proof none happened: direct awards are the part of the market least likely to reach a notice at all.
- Competed 56% (£43.8m)
- Other/Unspecified 41% (£32.0m)
- Framework/DPS 2% (£1.8m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 2 largest by value on record for Richmond upon Thames, of those with an end date inside 18 months. A re-procurement decision normally reaches a committee months before the contract itself runs out, which is the point at which scope is still moveable, so the months-left column matters as much as the value.
| Ends | Months left | Contract | Supplier | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 Oct 2026 | 1 | Twickenham Riverside | Kier Construction | £1.8m |
| 31 Mar 2027 | 6 | Healthwatch Richmond and Community Involvement Service2 award notices, shown once | framework, 2 suppliers | £862,940 |
Procurement radar
Committee papers Richmond upon Thames published in the last four months whose title uses the language of buying: a tender, an award, an extension, a gateway report, a waiver, or a procurement strategy, policy or performance report. It is a title match, so the odd paper lands here on a word rather than a decision.
| Meeting | Paper | Committee |
|---|---|---|

Where Richmond upon Thames spends most
The service areas taking the largest share of awarded value here. Each one has its own page explaining what we watch for.
Where this comes from
Awards, suppliers and expiry dates come from award notices published to Contracts Finder and Find a Tender by Richmond upon Thames. The award data set was last refreshed on 18 September 2026, so notices published since then are not yet counted here. Values are as notified; where a notice names several suppliers, the value is shared across them.
Committee papers and meeting dates come from Richmond upon Thames's own published papers, at https://cabnet.richmond.gov.uk. Every paper linked above is on the council's own site. Committee-paper figures were extracted on 20 September 2026.
What we leave out. A notice naming more than one buying authority is excluded, because it does not say how the value splits between them. So are notices from bodies that share this council's name but are separate organisations, such as the local college or NHS trust. Both would otherwise be counted here as Richmond upon Thames's.
Nothing on this page is modelled, estimated or inferred. Every number is a count or a sum over those two public sources. Where a figure would be a guess, it is left out.
