Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Borough Council commissioned project management consultancy to create a consistent, practical framework for managing its major projects. The work is intended to help the council deliver its major-projects agenda in a focused and strategic way, drawing on expertise within the council and good practice from other local authorities. The service is for the council’s major-project management rather than delivery of a single construction or infrastructure project. Delivery is in Rotherham. The service category is project management consultancy (CPV 72224000).

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Project One Consulting Limited. Rotherham Borough Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and runs from 22 October to 21 December 2026. Its gross value is £78,000; expenses are additional. The contract permits total expenditure of up to £102,000 including VAT if additional work within scope is required. The procurement was arranged as a single lot. The published outcome does not set out an evaluation basis or selection criteria.

For comparable future work, a credible supplier would need to help a local authority establish a consistent and practical approach to managing a portfolio of major projects, while aligning that approach with the authority’s own expertise and relevant practice in other councils. The requirement favours consultancy capability in project and portfolio management, translating strategic objectives into focused delivery arrangements, and working effectively with public-sector teams. Suppliers would need to show they can shape a management framework rather than simply provide project-specific advice, and have capacity to engage closely with the council over a concentrated period. Project One Consulting Limited, an SME, was selected through a non-competitive direct award; this outcome demonstrates demand for this type of consultancy but does not establish a competitive evaluation standard.
