This initiative, titled "Public Bridleway repairs on the South Downs Way," falls under the construction work industry category. The tender is active, with submissions due by 12:00 on 20 April 2021. The project budget is between £45,000 and £350,000, and the contract is expected to commence on 8 August 2021, concluding by 30 September 2021. The procurement process follows an open procedure suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This tender presents a significant opportunity for local construction firms, particularly those specialising in outdoor infrastructure, landscaping, and public works. Businesses capable of providing resilient construction materials and innovative designs that improve access and durability in damp conditions would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project can enhance visibility and establish valuable connections within the public sector, contributing to potential growth and collaboration opportunities in future contracts. ## Notice This stretch of the South Downs Way is a public bridleway that runs through the historic village of Alfriston. The National Trail crosses the Cuckmere River over a bridleway bridge and makes its way along the river valley before it begins to climb the Downs. The access ramp, which runs down from the bridleway bridge, is starting to degrade with its retaining walls beginning to give way and its surface breaking up. The access ramps requires total replacement. There are also two short sections of public path that require surface repairs in order to provide improved access during the winter months. Location: Public bridleway (LON/27/1), Alfriston East Sussex, BN26 5TL. Grid reference: TQ 5229 0310. We plan to replace the entire (25 metre-long) access ramp that runs up to the bridleway bridge and improve on its design by increasing the useable width (to 2 metres) and to provide a passing place at the top. We intend to use more resilient construction materials that will not perish in damp soil conditions.
