Summary of the contracting process

Mid Sussex District Council commissioned drainage works at Clayton and Hickman’s Lane Pavilion in Lindfield, Haywards Heath, West Sussex. The works concern drainage infrastructure at the pavilion and are classified as drainage works. The council is the public-sector buyer, based in Haywards Heath. Delivery is in the Mid Sussex area, at the pavilion site identified in the requirement. This is a works contract rather than a supply or routine service opportunity, so it is relevant to contractors with practical experience of drainage construction and associated site works. The requirement covers one package of work for the council’s premises and local public facilities, with the selected contractor responsible for carrying out the specified drainage works at the named location.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Mid Sussex District Council used a direct award below the formal threshold, without competition, under its procedure for works contracts under £75,000. Empire Environmental Services Limited was selected on 2 September 2026. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 2 September to 30 September 2026. Its value is £70,000 excluding VAT, or £84,000 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active and the tender as complete. The award covers the single drainage-works package at Clayton and Hickman’s Lane Pavilion. The published outcome therefore confirms the buyer, route to market, supplier selected and short delivery period for this requirement.

This award indicates a defined local requirement for drainage works at council-managed leisure or community facilities, delivered as a single, relatively small works package. Businesses that would be well placed for comparable work include drainage contractors able to undertake practical site works, manage delivery at an occupied or public-facing pavilion site, and complete a focused project within a short contract period. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the scale was accessible to a smaller specialist contractor rather than requiring a major national construction business. A credible competitor for similar Mid Sussex District Council requirements would need demonstrable drainage capability, the workforce and equipment to deliver a discrete works package, and the capacity to mobilise and complete work promptly in the Haywards Heath area.
