UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust intends to procure town planning consultancy services for its NHS operations. The requirement is for the provision of a town planning consultant, including urban environmental development planning advice. The work is expected to be delivered across the United Kingdom, for the Trust based in Doncaster. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction or the supply of goods. The procurement is restricted to suppliers appointed to SBS Lot 11 under the SBS 1090 arrangement, so it is relevant primarily to town planning consultancies that already hold the required position on that arrangement and can support an NHS foundation trust’s planning needs. The Trust is the buying organisation and will use its own procurement process for this requirement.

The process is at the planning stage: the Trust has announced an intention to procure, rather than issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use a restricted procedure limited to suppliers on SBS Lot 11. The planned contract period is from 1 December 2026 to 28 February 2027. The Trust has scheduled a preliminary market engagement exercise, with expressions of interest expected by 3 September 2026. It expects the next notice to be published on 5 October 2026. The procurement is below the applicable threshold. The requirement is presented as one lot, covering the town planning consultant service. No contract value or budget is stated. These dates are the buyer’s indicative timetable for planning and engagement, not deadlines to submit a tender.

This will suit established town planning consultancies with experience in urban and environmental development planning, particularly those able to advise an NHS foundation trust on planning matters during a short, defined engagement. The key commercial qualification is access to SBS Lot 11 under the SBS 1090 arrangement: suppliers outside that arrangement are unlikely to be eligible for this restricted requirement. Firms should therefore confirm that their appointment and service scope under the arrangement cover town planning consultancy. Relevant teams are likely to include professionally capable planners who can provide clear planning advice, work with a public-sector client and deliver within the stated contract period. The market engagement gives eligible framework suppliers an opportunity to understand the Trust’s requirement before the procurement reaches the tender stage.
