Summary of the contracting process

Mid Sussex District Council procured capital drainage works at Noah’s Ark Lane, Lindfield, West Sussex. The requirement is classified as drainage works and forms part of works needed after related activity by the Environment Agency. The council is the buyer and the works are for its local area. The scope is a single completed requirement covering the drainage works associated with the site and the follow-on programme. This is relevant to civil engineering contractors, drainage specialists and businesses able to undertake capital drainage work for a district council. It is particularly relevant to firms operating in West Sussex or able to deliver site-based works in Lindfield while coordinating with works being carried out by the Environment Agency.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to LANDBUILD LIMITED. Mid Sussex District Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The council granted an exemption from competition under its procurement code because the works were urgent and had to fit the Environment Agency’s subsequent works programme. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 26 August 2026 to 18 September 2026. Its value is £99,040.91 excluding VAT and £118,849.09 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the complete requirement. The awarded contract is active, while the tender itself is complete. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded because the contract was awarded directly under the urgency exemption.

This completed award shows that Mid Sussex District Council buys site-based capital drainage works and may require delivery alongside Environment Agency programmes. A credible future supplier would need practical drainage and civil engineering capability, suitable equipment and labour, and the capacity to mobilise quickly when external works create a fixed sequence or urgent dependency. The requirement also indicates a relatively focused project rather than a broad, multi-service framework, making it relevant to specialist drainage contractors and smaller civil engineering firms as well as larger infrastructure businesses. Suppliers seeking similar work from this buyer should be able to coordinate with public bodies, manage short delivery programmes, and demonstrate reliable completion of drainage construction works.
