The procurement process, managed by East Sussex County Council, involves the appointment of a consultant for the Willingdon Secondary School Access project. The procurement falls under the industry category of construction work, with services required including consultancy and design to support project delivery. This process took place in Lewes, England, with the award being announced on 2nd June 2025.
