Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council successfully completed the procurement process for "Corner Plot - Project Management Support," with a focus on project management consultancy services. The tender utilised a below-threshold restricted procurement method designed to foster limited competition. The procurement process, which was completed by December 2025, involved the award of contract services to WALKER SIME LIMITED, indicating an active contract period from September 2025 to December 2026. Located in Rochdale, UK, the council executed this tender process according to the legal basis set out by UKPGA 2023/54, with key contract signing dates marked in late August 2025.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in project management. Given the restricted nature of the competition, businesses equipped to provide concise and strategic project management support throughout extended project timelines are well-suited to compete in similar procurements. Rochdale Borough Council's initiative underscores an organisational focus on long-term project oversight, inviting innovative consulting firms to engage with and benefit from future projects within the public authority sector.
