Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Borough Council commissioned a strategic estate framework for Rotherham, covering health, care and voluntary-sector premises across the borough. The work is intended to support integrated, community-based care aligned with the NHS 10-year plan and Rotherham’s Neighbourhood Health and Wellbeing model. It also aims to make better use of estate across partner organisations and to support service transformation, sustainability and equity. This is a planning and estate strategy service, classified under urban planning services (CPV 71410000). The geographic focus is Rotherham. The scope also allows for additional work related to the framework after the main contract period, subject to budget provision and Council agreement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ARCHUS LIMITED. Rotherham Borough Council used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026, with a gross value of £83,473.20. Its stated period runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 March 2027, with a possible extension to 4 September 2027. The Council may vary the agreement for additional works required in the six months after expiry, up to an aggregate sum of £100,000, if budget is available; those works are not guaranteed. The award record identifies urban planning services but gives no separate award date or award value.

For firms competing when Rotherham Borough Council next procures this requirement, the relevant capability is strategic estate planning across health, care and voluntary-sector partners. A credible supplier would need to show how its work can support integrated community-based care and the Council’s Neighbourhood Health and Wellbeing model, while improving the use of property across organisations. The brief also points to experience aligning estates with broader service transformation, sustainability and equitable delivery across a borough. This is a focused consultancy and planning assignment rather than a construction contract. The selected supplier is an SME, demonstrating that the requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist business, although the process data does not set out formal qualification or accreditation requirements.
