Summary of the contracting process

Hassocks Parish Council has conducted a procurement process for "Public Rights of Way Improvements" in the UKJ28 region, centred around Hassocks, United Kingdom. The procurement aimed to enhance local footpaths, with a focus on upgrading rural pathways with hard surfaces, including tarmac finishes in some areas. The project reached the award stage in 2025 and concluded with a contract signed on 4th September 2025. Initially, the contract was awarded to Barcombe Landscapes Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Lewes, UKJ22. However, the contract status was later classified as terminated following its completion by the end of November 2025. This procurement followed an open procedure, ensuring transparency and competitiveness.

This tender presented substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs specialising in construction, landscaping, and footpath upgrades. Companies with a proven history of similar projects, financial stability, and the ability to meet West Sussex County Council specifications were positioned to benefit. While the contract is now terminated, the initial procurement phase underscored the importance of quality and economic criteria, providing a platform for businesses to showcase their expertise and secure future local government projects. Enterprises focusing on public infrastructure improvements might look for similar opportunities to leverage their capabilities and expand their portfolio within the public sector.
