Summary of the contracting process

The South Downs National Park Authority has engaged in a public procurement process for a Single Supplier Framework to provide specialist sustainable construction advice, aimed at supporting planning officers across various development management teams within the National Park. Situated in Midhurst, this sub-central government authority has completed the award stage of the procurement process with Havant Borough Council selected as the supplier. The framework, which commenced on 30 June 2025, will run for three years with the potential to extend by an additional year. This open, below-threshold competition targeted the architectural, engineering, and planning services category, with the services being delivered across regions including Adur, Worthing, Arun, Brighton and Hove, and more within the UKJ postcode area. The signed contract totals a gross value of £69,120, positioned to enhance planning services for diverse local authority jurisdictions.

This tender provides a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in sustainable construction consultancy, particularly those capable of delivering expert advice across multiple regions. Large consultancy firms with experience in working closely with public authorities, or those aiming to expand their influence in sustainable construction within government frameworks, will find this framework advantageous. The framework allows for direct awards, ensuring streamlined procurement without the need for multiple competitive reopening processes. Firms providing competitive pricing and superior sustainable construction insights can leverage this contract to enhance their portfolio and footprint in public sector projects, fostering long-term business growth and visibility in eco-conscious urban and rural planning sectors.
