UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Downs National Park Authority commissioned design, project management, procurement and delivery support for phases 1 and 2 of the Seven Sisters Country Park North Car Park Improvement Project. The services also cover Principal Designer duties, contract administration and site supervision. This is consultancy and architectural support for improvements to an outdoor car park. The project is at Seven Sisters Country Park in England; the supplier is based in London.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Authority made a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. Project Centre Limited was selected, and the contract was signed on 15 October 2026. Its stated value is £42,434.38 excluding VAT and £50,921.26 including VAT. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 30 April 2028. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The published information does not set out an evaluation basis, so the award outcome should be understood in the context of the direct, non-competitive route rather than a scored competition.

For firms tracking future car-park improvement work for the South Downs National Park Authority, this award shows demand for integrated project consultancy spanning design, procurement and delivery. A credible competitor would need to bring together project management and procurement capability with design expertise, Principal Designer competence, contract administration and site supervision. The work combines advisory and technical input with oversight of delivery on a country-park site, so suppliers would need to coordinate across project stages and manage interfaces between design, contracting and construction activity. Project Centre Limited, identified as an SME, delivered the awarded service through a direct award without competition; this demonstrates that a specialist consultancy can be selected for this defined requirement. The requirement concerns this car-park improvement project, rather than general park management or unrelated transport services.
