## Summary

Uttlesford District Council commissioned full design services for Elsenham Community Hall. The requirement is for architectural and related professional services, covering the design of a community hall rather than construction delivery itself. The work is to be delivered in Essex, serving the Elsenham community. The procurement was conducted through the NHS SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services framework, identified as NHS SBS10190. The named buyer is Uttlesford District Council, a local authority based in Saffron Walden. The appointed supplier is RSK Environment Ltd, whose role is recorded as providing the services. The requirement is therefore most relevant to architectural, building-design and related consultancy practices able to deliver complete design services for a public community facility in Essex.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited further-competition route through the NHS SBS10190 framework, with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 for £300,000. RSK Environment Ltd received the active award for the Elsenham Community Hall requirement. Two bids were recorded. Evaluation placed 80% of the weighting on quality and 20% on cost, so technical quality was substantially more important than price. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and resulting contract are recorded as active; the active award and contract establish the reported outcome.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Uttlesford District Council for complete design services for a community hall, with a contract value at a substantial public-project scale. A future competitor would need credible architectural and related design capability covering the full design lifecycle for a community facility, rather than a narrow single-discipline service. Experience of working through the NHS SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services framework would be commercially relevant, as the council used that route to appoint its supplier. The evaluation also indicates that a strong technical and quality proposition is more important than offering the lowest price: quality carried four-fifths of the weighting. Firms seeking to compete for similar requirements should therefore be able to evidence robust design quality, public-sector delivery experience and sufficient organisational capacity.
