Planning Information

This is an open engagement exercise in which any potential providers can participate, and will take the form of a preliminary market engagement questionnaire. The deadline for completed questionnaires is close of play on Wednesday 25 June 2025. Interested parties should complete and return the questionnaire which is available on request via email to tenders@southdowns.gov.uk Completed questionnaires should be returned via email to tenders@southdowns.gov.uk by Wednesday 25 June 2025. For the avoidance of doubt, this exercise does not constitute a call for competition to procure any services, supplies or works for SDNPA, and the Authority is not committing to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the pre-procurement market engagement process shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the pre-procurement process shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the pre-procurement market engagement procurement process will be at each supplier's own cost. No expense in responding to this process will be reimbursed by the SDNPA.
