UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Downs National Park Authority procured a single-supplier framework for arboricultural services on Centurion Way. The work covers tree cutting, together with planting and maintenance of green areas, supporting the management and upkeep of this route within the South Downs National Park. It is a services requirement for an organisation able to carry out practical tree and vegetation work in an outdoor, countryside setting. The buying organisation is South Downs National Park Authority, based at the South Downs Centre in Midhurst. The requirement is focused on Centurion Way rather than a broad park-wide service, so businesses should have relevant operational coverage for this route and its surrounding green infrastructure. The associated classification includes tree-cutting services (CPV 77211400).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Greenjack Countryside Services. It used a below-threshold direct award without competition, through a closed single-supplier framework. Call-offs are made directly using prices provided by the supplier during the tender process, without reopening competition. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with the Authority able to extend the framework by one or more periods of up to 12 months, subject to written notice; the maximum stated end date is 31 August 2029. The awarded value is £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. The process had one completed lot and one active award.

This award shows that South Downs National Park Authority buys a combined arboricultural and green-area maintenance service for Centurion Way through a single-supplier framework and direct call-offs. A future competitor would need to provide dependable tree-cutting capability alongside planting and maintenance of green spaces, rather than offering only a narrow specialist service. Credibility would come from practical countryside operations, the capacity to manage recurring work for a public land manager, and pricing that can be used for direct call-offs under a framework. Suppliers should also be able to plan and deliver work safely along a named route and maintain consistent service quality across the framework period. The incumbent’s selection indicates that a contractor able to cover the full service mix is well placed when this requirement returns.
