## Summary

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned temporary specialist staff to support the pre-construction phase of some of its six Priority Flood Alleviation Scheme projects. The work centres on leading design management and coordinating with a wide range of people and organisations, with engineering consultancy and infrastructure support relevant to the requirement. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber. The title refers to a drainage engineer, while the description identifies the role as Design Manager; the stated work is pre-construction project delivery rather than general temporary staffing.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, trading as Consultancy+, on 31 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £47,500. The contract period runs from 1 August to 31 December 2026. The council used a selective call-off from the YPO 1141 framework, by direct award. The requirement was treated as a services contract and was suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The published information describes the role and pre-construction work, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or specific selection thresholds. The award is recorded as active.

For recruitment agencies and engineering consultancies supplying temporary drainage or civil engineering professionals, this award provides a concrete example of Rotherham Council buying specialist design-management capacity for flood alleviation project development. A credible competitor would need to source a suitably experienced professional who can lead pre-construction work and coordinate effectively with multiple organisations, alongside understanding engineering and infrastructure projects. Familiarity with drainage or flood alleviation schemes would be directly relevant to the stated project context. The route used was a call-off from the YPO 1141 framework, so suppliers seeking comparable council work would need to be positioned to supply through that framework route. The award demonstrates demand for a focused, temporary specialist appointment rather than a broad consultancy package.
