UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rother District Council commissioned architectural design services for landlord improvement works at Ravenside and Bexhill leisure facilities. The requirement covered architectural services for buildings from RIBA Stage 1 through Stage 6, including lead architectural design consultancy and construction, design and management support. The work is delivered in the Bexhill-on-Sea area of East Sussex. The council is the public-sector buyer. The awarded requirements included architectural design for Ravenside Pool, lead architectural design consultancy for Bexhill Leisure Centre at RIBA Stages 4 to 6, and lead architectural design consultancy for Ravenside at RIBA Stages 4 to 6. This is a building design and improvement consultancy opportunity rather than construction delivery.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was used. Three active awards were made to A & M Architectural Partnership LLP. The Ravenside Pool architectural design services and CDM contract was signed on 19 November 2025 and runs from 19 November 2025 to 1 December 2026, with a value of £24,360 excluding VAT (£29,232 including VAT). The Bexhill Leisure Centre RIBA Stages 4-6 contract was signed on 28 April 2026 and runs to 31 December 2026, valued at £15,600 excluding VAT (£18,720 including VAT). The Ravenside RIBA Stages 4-6 contract has the same dates and is valued at £17,600 excluding VAT (£21,120 including VAT).

This award demonstrates demand from Rother District Council for architectural practices able to support leisure-centre and pool improvement projects through several RIBA design stages. A credible future competitor would need building-design capability, experience taking projects from early-stage design through the later technical and delivery stages, and the ability to provide lead architectural consultancy. Familiarity with landlord improvement works and construction, design and management support would be relevant to the requirement. The appointed supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller architectural practice can compete for this type and scale of public-sector commission. Practices with experience of comparable public leisure or building-improvement schemes would be well placed when similar requirements return.
