Summary of the contracting process

Rother District Council has completed a limited procurement process for the "RDC Bexhill Leisure Centre Architectural Design Services" tender. This project falls under the architectural services industry category and involves RIBA Stage 1 to 4 design services for landlord improvement works at the Bexhill-on-Sea location, specifically within the UKJ22 region. The tender, identified by "RDC - 015924", was concluded with a contract awarded on 19th November 2025, which is set to last until 1st December 2026. Engaging in a below-threshold limited competition, the procurement method was tailored to sub-central government needs as per UK public authority classifications, with the contract carrying a gross value of £38,000 GBP.

This project offers significant business growth opportunities particularly for firms specialising in architectural services. Especially well-suited are SMEs that provide comprehensive architectural planning and implementation services for public infrastructure improvements. The successful contractor, A & M Architectural Partnership LLP, benefited from the focused procurement approach that allowed for specialised competition among qualified suppliers. Businesses looking to expand their public sector portfolio, particularly those experienced in RIBA-designated stage services and sub-central government projects, would find such opportunities aligned with their growth strategies.
