Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned a multidisciplinary design team for the Rochdale PRU project in the North West of England. The services cover completion of the project through RIBA Stages 2 to 6 and include project management, architecture, principal designer duties under the CDM Regulations 2015, principal designer duties under the Building Safety Act 2022, structural and civil engineering, mechanical engineering services, electrical engineering services and quantity surveying. This is a professional services requirement covering architectural, construction, engineering and inspection work. The buyer is Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council, based at Waterside House in Sale, Greater Manchester, and the appointed supplier is Triangle Architects Ltd.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award procedure. The tender submission deadline was 14 June 2026 at 12 noon, and the award date was 20 July 2026. Triangle Architects Ltd received the contract for £205,061.54 including the stated GBP currency. The tender’s estimated value range was £140,000 to £205,061.54. The awarded contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 31 July 2028; the broader planned contract period was 29 June 2026 to 31 July 2028. The requirement was evaluated and concluded as a single professional services appointment rather than a lot-based competition. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Rochdale Council for an integrated design team capable of carrying a public-sector building project across multiple RIBA stages. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need coordinated architecture, project management, structural and civil engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, quantity surveying, and statutory designer expertise. Familiarity with CDM 2015 and the Building Safety Act 2022 is central, including the ability to discharge principal designer responsibilities rather than provide architecture alone. The buyer’s stated scope also points to the need for teams that can manage design development, technical coordination, cost control and delivery support throughout the project lifecycle. Although the opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs, the successful supplier was an SME, showing that a suitably coordinated specialist practice can meet the requirement.
