Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured works for the Faygate Gas Scheme 2026. The requirement covers drilling 55 new gas wells at the Faygate landfill site, installing connecting pipework, and moving a gas flare from another site to Faygate for reuse in a new compound. The work falls within gas-fitting and gas-regulation equipment installation. Delivery is across West Sussex, including Faygate and the locations associated with the existing flare and connecting infrastructure. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council, a sub-central public authority. This is a practical gas infrastructure and landfill-gas engineering requirement, suited to contractors able to carry out specialist drilling, gas installation, pipework, flare relocation and compound works as one coordinated project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded following a below-threshold open competition. One lot was used. The estimated value was £450,000 excluding VAT (£540,000 including VAT). The tender deadline was 12 June 2026 at 4pm, with enquiries closing on 2 June 2026 at noon. Evaluation was based on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%, with requirements set out in the ITT. Two bids were received, both from SMEs. The contract was awarded to J Group Construction on 2 July 2026 for £525,649.20 excluding VAT (£630,779.04 including VAT). The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 30 October 2026.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for landfill-gas infrastructure in West Sussex, combining new-well drilling with gas-fitting, connecting pipework, flare relocation and compound installation. A credible future competitor would need the technical ability and operational capacity to coordinate these activities safely on a landfill site, manage gas-regulation equipment and integrate relocated assets into a functioning scheme. The council reserved participation for SMEs from West Sussex, and the successful supplier, J Group Construction, is an SME based in Henfield. Quality carried greater weight than price, so evidence of method, technical competence, site management, risk control and reliable delivery would be important alongside competitive pricing. The route was an open competition below the public procurement threshold.
