## Summary

Uttlesford District Council procured architectural and multi-disciplinary design services for a new multi-purpose community hall in Elsenham, Essex. The requirement covers the professional services needed to support construction of the hall, including architectural services and related construction, engineering and inspection activities. The work is for a local authority community facility, with delivery centred on Elsenham and the wider Essex area. It was arranged through the NHS SBS SBS10190 public sector framework, indicating a requirement suited to practices or consultancies able to provide architectural design alongside relevant multi-disciplinary built-environment expertise. The buying organisation is Uttlesford District Council, based in Saffron Walden.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using the NHS SBS SBS10190 framework. The award date was 31 July 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. RSK Environment Ltd was awarded the contract at £300,000. Two bids were recorded. The evaluation was weighted 80% to quality and 20% to cost. The procurement was structured as one lot, covering architectural and further multi-disciplinary services for the new community hall. The lot is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active. The contract value is stated in pounds sterling, with no separate options identified.

For a supplier assessing future community-hall opportunities with Uttlesford District Council, this procurement demonstrates demand for a combined architectural and multi-disciplinary service rather than a narrowly focused design commission. A credible competitor would need to show the capacity to lead or contribute to architectural design for a public community building, coordinate related disciplines, and support construction-stage requirements in Essex. The evaluation gives a clear commercial signal: quality was substantially more important than cost, so bidders would need strong technical proposals, a sound delivery approach and relevant evidence of capability, while remaining cost-conscious. Experience of working through public sector frameworks, particularly NHS SBS SBS10190, would also be important for accessing a similar route.
