## Summary

The South Downs National Park Authority has awarded a contract for the "TAP SuDS in Schools Project" at Carden Primary School in Brighton, focusing on construction work in the education sector. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, with the award published on 21st January 2022. The contract commenced on 7th February 2022 and is scheduled for completion by 31st March 2022, with a total budget of up to £70,000. A site visit for tenderers was held on 22nd November 2021, prior to the tender closing on 10th December 2021.

This project presents a significant opportunity for contractors specialising in construction and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS). Companies with a commitment to high-quality construction work and an ethos aligned with environmental sustainability would be well-positioned to benefit. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate a collaborative approach and attention to detail are particularly encouraged to participate, as they can be instrumental in delivering an inspiring educational project that may lead to further contracts in the local area.

## Notice

The Aquifer Partnership (TAP) is seeking to commission construction of our 'SuDS in Schools' project at Carden Primary School, Brighton. This project will create wetland basins and a pond in a fenced section of the school playing field as detailed in the attached design documents. The contract will commence on 14th February 2022 and it is hoped that the scheme will be complete by 31st March 2022. We are not in a position to negotiate on start date, however if there are reasonable grounds for the project to run into April this could be accommodated. Metis Consultants Ltd are the appointed design consultants for this project and will be the contract managers. The budget for construction is up to PS70,000. We are seeking a company with high attention to detail and commitment to delivering a gold-standard exemplar project. We would like to work with a company that shares our ethos, and enthusiasm to create an inspirational project that will stimulate the development of more SuDS in the local area. We will offer a site visit for tenderers on Monday 22nd November 2021. A mutually convenient time will be arranged. The SuDS in Schools project is managed by TAP on behalf of Carden Primary School, and is funded by the South Downs National Park Authority, Environment Agency and Department for Education.
