Notice Title

WSCC DR - Public Rights of Way Maintenance Services 2023 - Market Engagement

Notice Description

The County Council has a statutory duty to provide safe access to the Public Rights of Way (PRoW) network and the Routine Maintenance Contract is a key mechanism in the delivery of the obligation. The PRoW network provides links to services and into the wider Countryside. The rural nature of the county provides tourism opportunities, and the South Downs National Park and coast attracts visitors to the area. Those who exercise and enjoy time in green spaces have increased wellbeing and this free source of exercise can bring wider health benefits. The existing contract ends on 30 April 2023 and the County Council is now preparing a procurement process to replace the contract, with tendering anticipated in October 2022. The value of the new contract is estimated to be ~PS300k per annum, and PS1.8m over the maximum 6-year term. We would be grateful for your thoughts on how we can make the new contract a success. A market engagement questionnaire is enclosed in synopsis section on the SE Shared Services tendering portal.
