Summary of the contracting process

The South Downs National Park Authority has recently completed a public procurement process titled "South Downs Farm Delivery Programme", aimed at providing facilitation training for cohort farmers under the resilience programme. This process falls under the services category with a specific focus on environmental training services. Located in the United Kingdom, the procurement was conducted via a direct method below the threshold, thus not involving a competitive tender. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract commencing from 30th October 2025 and finishing by the end of September 2027. The programme aligns with the legal framework specified by the UK's 2023 legislation, reflecting the authority's commitment to environmental stewardship and agricultural support. The total contract value is approximately £102,517.34, with a net value of £85,431.12.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental training and agricultural support services. Organisations such as SMEs, particularly those with expertise in sustainability and farm management, could find such programmes ideal for expansion and network growth. The awarded supplier, Pasture-Fed Livestock Association CIC, indicates that businesses with a focus on eco-friendly and pastoral farming practices would be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future. By engaging with sub-central government initiatives like those offered by the South Downs National Park Authority, businesses can promote their offerings, enhance their services portfolio, and contribute positively to rural and environmental development.
