Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Uttlesford District Council commissioned full design services for Elsenham Community Hall. The requirement covers architectural and related professional services, including the complete design of the community hall rather than a specified construction package. The work is associated with Elsenham in the East of England and is intended to support the development of a community facility. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would include architectural practices and multidisciplinary design consultancies able to provide end-to-end design input for a public community building. The council is the organisation buying and managing the requirement. The procurement is categorised as services, with the classification describing architectural and related services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller architectural or design businesses with the necessary capability and capacity.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a further competition through NHS SBS10190, using the stated method detail “Other”. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026, and the contract was awarded on that date. RSK Environment Ltd was selected as supplier for £300,000. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2030. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £300,000. The requirement was evaluated through the further-competition process, but the available award information does not set out the individual quality, price or technical criteria used. The award is active, indicating that the selected supplier is proceeding with the contract. The contract covers the full design services for Elsenham Community Hall.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement from Uttlesford District Council for complete architectural and related design services for a community building. A credible future competitor would need to show the ability to take a public-sector building project through its full design scope, coordinate the required professional inputs and deliver consistently over a long contract period. Relevant experience in community facilities or comparable public buildings would help demonstrate understanding of user needs, stakeholder coordination and public-sector delivery. Smaller firms are commercially relevant because the requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, although the successful supplier was a large organisation. Firms considering similar work with this buyer should be able to compete through a framework further-competition route and present a strong, coordinated design service.
