Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancing Parish Council procured grounds maintenance services for public recreational spaces in Lancing, West Sussex. The work covers grass cutting at Lancing Beach Green and Lawns, Monks Recreation Ground, Croshaw Recreation Ground excluding its football pitch, and East Lancing Recreation Ground excluding environmental areas. It also includes pitch maintenance at Monks Recreation Ground, comprising two adult pitches and three junior pitches, and one adult pitch at East Lancing Recreation Ground. The requirement is classified as grounds maintenance services (CPV 77314000) and is a services contract. The buying organisation is Lancing Parish Council. The work is relevant to landscape contractors, grounds maintenance firms and sports-turf specialists able to maintain public open spaces and multiple grass sports pitches.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Barcombe Landscapes Limited on 23 March 2023. The awarded value is £9,920, with the awarded contract running from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2027. The tender described a five-year requirement and gave an estimated total value of £30,000, using a competitive quotation process at approximately £10,000 per year. The tender submission deadline was 23 October 2026 at 5pm. The contract was evaluated through the competitive quotation route; the published information does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Lancing Parish Council for routine grass cutting across several public recreation grounds, combined with specialist upkeep of adult and junior football pitches. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable grounds maintenance capability, sports-turf knowledge and sufficient capacity to service several locations consistently. It would need to manage scheduled cutting and pitch maintenance, while working around areas excluded from routine maintenance, including environmental areas and a football pitch at Croshaw Recreation Ground. The requirement is suitable in principle for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so a smaller local contractor could be relevant if it can provide dependable delivery across the full site portfolio. Experience maintaining public open spaces and sports pitches would strengthen credibility.
