Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Borough Council is initiating a significant procurement process, the "Rotherham Construction Partnership (RCP) 5 Framework," aimed at establishing a framework of prequalified contractors for minor construction works. These works cover various domains, including but not limited to construction, roofing, demolition, and refurbishment, with an overall value estimated to exceed £200 million. This opportunity is planned to be available for an up to eight-year period and may encompass individual contracts ranging from £50,000 to £4,000,000. Located in Rotherham, Yorkshire, and the Humber region, the framework includes 11 multi-supplier lots. A market engagement event is scheduled for 15th September 2025 at Rotherham Town Hall, offering insights into the tender process, with the actual tender stage set to commence by the end of 2025.

This framework presents considerable business growth opportunities for both large and small enterprises, particularly SMEs and social enterprises, due to its wide range of works and its open framework structure. The RCP 5 Framework is conducive for businesses engaged in construction and related fields such as mechanical and electrical installations, housing refurbishment, and more innovative construction solutions. Interested participants are encouraged to register on YORtender, the central digital platform, to access and bid for contracts. The opportunity fosters collaboration with other public sector organisations and supports sustainable and ethical practices, thus appealing to businesses aiming to expand their portfolio within the public sector in the United Kingdom.
