Summary of the contracting process

Lancing Parish Council is procuring grounds maintenance services, including grass cutting and sports pitch maintenance in Lancing, West Sussex. The grass-cutting service covers Lancing Beach Green and Lawns, Monks Recreation Ground, Croshaw Recreation Ground excluding the football pitch, and East Lancing Recreation Ground excluding environmental areas. Pitch maintenance covers two adult pitches and three junior pitches at Monks Recreation Ground, plus one adult pitch at East Lancing Recreation Ground. The procurement is a services contract for maintaining public green spaces and football pitches. It is suited to businesses providing routine grass cutting, turf care and sports-ground maintenance, with delivery centred on council recreation grounds and green spaces in Lancing.

The procurement has reached tender: Lancing Parish Council invited suppliers to submit offers by competitive quotation. The tender submission deadline set by the council is 23 October 2026 at 17:00. The contract is planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031, covering five years. Its estimated total value is £30,000 including the stated annual quotation basis of about £10,000. The requirement is presented as a single service covering grass cutting and pitch maintenance rather than separate lots. Offers are to be submitted by email or post to Lancing Parish Council. The published information identifies grounds maintenance and grassing services as the relevant work categories, but does not set out an evaluation weighting.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized grounds maintenance contractors, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Suppliers should be able to plan and deliver recurring grass-cutting work across several public recreation grounds, while maintaining football pitches to an appropriate playing standard. Relevant capability includes operating mowing and turf-care equipment, managing different grassed areas, and scheduling work across adult and junior pitches. Contractors with practical experience of municipal open-space maintenance, sports-turf maintenance and working around environmental areas are likely to be well placed. The requirement favours a supplier with sufficient local operating capacity to cover Lancing Beach Green and Lawns, Monks Recreation Ground, Croshaw Recreation Ground and East Lancing Recreation Ground throughout the service period.
