The work falls within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, with delivery in the East of England. The requirement covers the professional services needed to support the new community hall project rather than the construction works themselves. It is a public-sector building design commission of interest to architectural practices, multidisciplinary consultancies and built-environment firms able to coordinate design and related technical disciplines for a community facility. The council is based at its offices in Saffron Walden and is the buying organisation for the requirement. The procurement has been completed and awarded. Uttlesford District Council selected RSK Environment Ltd on 31 July 2026. The award value is £300,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 September 2030. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026. The procurement category was services, and the method was recorded as “Other”. The requirement was presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, indicating that the selected supplier has been appointed for the architectural and multidisciplinary services. This was a single requirement for the Elsenham community hall project, rather than separately described lots. For a supplier assessing future work from Uttlesford District Council, this award shows demand for integrated architectural and multidisciplinary services supporting a substantial community-building project over a multi-year delivery period. A credible competitor would need architectural design capability combined with the ability to coordinate relevant construction, engineering and inspection disciplines through the project lifecycle. Experience of community facilities or comparable public buildings would help demonstrate understanding of user-focused design, stakeholder requirements and public-sector delivery. Firms should also be able to manage technical coordination, professional quality and continuity across a long contract. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a capable smaller practice or specialist consultancy could compete, either independently or through a team with complementary disciplines. ## Notice Requirement for Architectural and multi-disciplinary services for the construction of a new community hall in Elsenham, Essex ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c822b776-45b3-4f98-bf6b-5b5048a0438c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Jul 2026 | | Contract period | 24 Aug 2026 - 23 Sep 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £300,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Uttlesford District Council | | Locality | SAFFRON WALDEN | | Postcode area | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB11 4ER | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH35 West Essex | | Local authority | Uttlesford | | Electoral ward | Saffron Walden Audley | | Westminster constituency | North West Essex | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | RSK Environment Ltd. | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 18 Sep 2026 at 11:30 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c822b776-45b3-4f98-bf6b-5b5048a0438c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c822b776-45b3-4f98-bf6b-5b5048a0438c 18th September 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=1067637200 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
