UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Downs National Park Authority procured the provision of a pole barn at Lodge Copse. This is a construction works requirement, classified under CPV 45210000 for building construction work. The Authority is based at the South Downs Centre in Midhurst and is the organisation buying and using the completed facility. The work is located at Lodge Copse in the South Downs National Park area. The requirement concerns delivery of the building works themselves rather than a supply-only purchase or a general construction framework. It would suit contractors involved in the design, fabrication, supply or erection of pole barns and similar agricultural, rural or parkland structures, subject to the detailed specification used for this procurement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. There was one completed lot. South Downs National Park Authority awarded the contract to ARTIZANS OF WOOD LTD. The award was made on 18 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 18 August 2026. The contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 16 October 2026. Its gross value is £36,987.76. The contract is active, as is the award. The procurement was evaluated through a direct award route rather than an open tender, so the process did not involve competing bids. This outcome identifies the requirement and scale of the Authority’s purchase, while the named supplier is the selected contractor for this contract.

This award provides a clear reference point for contractors targeting future pole-barn and rural building work for the South Downs National Park Authority. A credible competitor would need practical building-construction capability, including the ability to deliver a complete pole barn at a parkland location and to manage a short, defined construction programme. Experience with timber or similar structural construction, site delivery, installation and coordination of associated works would be relevant to this requirement. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist contractor can be suitable for this type and scale of Authority requirement. Businesses with demonstrable experience delivering comparable agricultural, estate or countryside structures would be well placed to assess similar future demand from this buyer.
