UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council is seeking a supplier to carry out Sideway-force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine (SCRIM) road surveys during 2027. These surveys measure road-surface skid resistance and support the council’s inspection of its road network. The work is a specialist road-inspection and surveying service, covering delivery in West Sussex. The requirement is presented as one lot and is reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises based in West Sussex. Suppliers should therefore be able to undertake SCRIM surveys and meet the local participation restriction.

The council invited offers through an open competition below the UK procurement threshold. The enquiry deadline was 30 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the submission deadline was 30 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period runs from 30 December 2026 to 10 November 2027. The estimated value is £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Offers are assessed on the Most Advantageous Tender basis, weighted 70% for price and 30% for technical quality. Selection requirements are set out in the quotation pack. Electronic submission was permitted through the council’s online procurement portal.

This opportunity is suited to smaller suppliers and voluntary, community or social enterprises located in West Sussex, provided they can deliver specialist SCRIM road surveys. Suppliers need the equipment and technical capability to measure sideway-force coefficients and carry out road-surface inspections across the council’s area. The technical quality element makes the ability to explain a reliable survey approach relevant alongside competitive pricing. The requirement is a single, relatively focused service lot, rather than a multi-lot programme. The quotation pack contains the detailed selection requirements, so firms should check it against their survey experience, resources and ability to complete the work within the stated contract period.
