UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Horsham District Council procured construction works to reconfigure and upgrade Newmans Garden Car Park in Steyning, West Sussex. The requirement covered all works described in the specification and was let as a single contract rather than divided into separate packages. The work is classified as construction work and is for delivery at the car park on Newmans Garden, Steyning, postcode BN44 3RN. This is a council-funded local authority project, relevant to contractors undertaking car park construction, reconfiguration, upgrading and associated civil engineering works. The appointed contractor was responsible for the complete scope, rather than a discrete trade package or supply-only element.

The procurement is complete and was run by Horsham District Council through a below-threshold limited competition using a closed request-for-quotation procedure. Three bids reached the final stage, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract was awarded on 17 August 2026 to C J Thorne & Co Ltd for £137,394.67 excluding VAT, or £164,872 including VAT. The award period was scheduled to run from 31 August to 9 November 2026, while the signed contract records a period from 14 September to 23 November 2026. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and is active. One contract was awarded for the full works, with completion executed as a deed.

This award demonstrates local authority demand for complete car park reconfiguration and upgrade projects delivered by a construction contractor under a relatively small, single-contract arrangement. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need the practical capacity to manage the full works package, coordinate site delivery and complete civil construction activity in an operational public car park environment. The result also shows that a small or medium-sized enterprise can compete successfully through a closed, below-threshold quotation process. Firms with relevant car park construction and upgrading experience, the workforce and plant to deliver a short-duration works programme, and the organisational discipline to meet council specification and contract requirements would be well placed when this buyer next requires comparable work.
