Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Faygate Gas Scheme 2026" was conducted by West Sussex County Council, located in Chichester, United Kingdom. The procurement focused on gas-fitting installation work, specifically involving the drilling of 55 new gas wells at the Faygate landfill site, installing connecting pipework, and relocating a gas flare. The contract, completed under an open procedure below the threshold, attracted a total award value of £525,649.20. The process reached the award stage with the contract period spanning from 1st July 2026 to 30th October 2026. This project primarily targets the South East and South West regions of the UK.

The Faygate Gas Scheme presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in gas-fitting and installation works. Companies experienced in landfill gas management and infrastructure development would find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. The nature of the work demands expertise in drilling and pipework installation, making it ideal for construction firms focussed on environmental and energy projects. The participation of J Group Construction Ltd, an SME based in Henfield, underscores the potential for similarly scaled enterprises to engage in such developments.
