Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned specialist support for its submission to the Department for Transport Structures Fund for the Fleet Bridge project on Rotherham Road, Swallownest. The service covers preparation of the Strategic Case and Economic Case within the project business case, together with quantity surveying support to establish a construction cost estimate. This is a professional engineering, construction and infrastructure advisory service, classified under architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The work is for the council’s Fleet Bridge scheme and is delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement sits within the council’s broader effort to develop and support a transport structures project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Amey OW Ltd on 31 July 2026. The contract value is £31,463.85, and the contract runs from 31 July to 28 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 12:00. The council used a selective procedure and made a direct award through the Midlands Highway Alliance PSP4 Framework, Lot 1, as a framework call-off. The active award is for the full support service described, with Amey OW Ltd named as the supplier. The buying organisation is Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the requirement shows that Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council uses external specialists to develop funding submissions and business-case material for bridge and transport infrastructure projects. A credible competitor would need to combine strong public-sector business-case capability with a clear understanding of the Department for Transport’s funding requirements, particularly the Strategic and Economic Cases. It would also need quantity surveying expertise sufficient to produce defensible construction cost estimates and to connect those estimates with the wider case for investment. Experience of bridge or highway structures, infrastructure appraisal and evidence-led cost planning would strengthen a future proposition. Access to the relevant framework route, or a partnership with an appointed framework supplier, would also be commercially important.
