UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Arun District Council has completed a procurement process for the development of a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) for the district. The contract, which falls under the services industry category, was awarded to ETHOS CONSULTANTS LTD and involves consultancy services for infrastructure works. Based in Littlehampton, UK, the process was conducted under a limited competition procurement method deemed below the threshold. Starting on 5th December 2025 and ending on 4th June 2027, the contract is valuated at £64,000 net (£80,000 gross). This initiative aligns with the Government's strategy to encourage walking and cycling for shorter journeys, as per the Department for Transport's guidelines.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in infrastructure planning and sustainable transport solutions, specifically those interested in supporting governmental efforts to enhance local mobility infrastructure. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in developing strategic transport plans and a focus on community-oriented projects would be particularly well-suited to engage in such procurement opportunities. Winning contracts in this sector can significantly bolster a company's presence in public infrastructure projects, opening pathways for future collaborations with government agencies.
