Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured works to develop the Faygate Gas Scheme at the closed Faygate landfill site. The contractor is required to drill 55 new gas wells, install the connecting pipework, and move a gas flare from another site to Faygate. The flare must be repurposed and installed within a new compound. This is gas-fitting installation work (CPV 45333000), classed as works, with delivery covering Faygate and locations in the South East and South West of England. The requirement is directly relevant to landfill-gas, gas-well drilling, pipework installation, flare systems, site compounds and associated civil engineering contractors.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure below the threshold. Bids had to be submitted by 12 June 2026 at 12:00. West Sussex County Council awarded the contract to J Group Construction Ltd on 2 July 2026. The awarded value is £525,649.20 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 October 2026. The original estimated procurement value was £450,000 GBP. The award is active and covers the complete requirement: drilling the 55 wells, installing connecting pipework, and relocating and repurposing the gas flare in a new compound.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for a specialist contractor able to deliver landfill-gas infrastructure as a single works package. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in drilling multiple gas wells, installing and connecting gas pipework, dismantling or relocating existing flare equipment, and commissioning a repurposed flare within a new compound. The work also calls for effective coordination across the Faygate landfill site and another source location, together with the site management and civil engineering capability needed for compound construction and installation. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so an experienced specialist SME or a well-organised delivery partnership would be well placed.
