## Summary

West Sussex County Council is procuring a footway and remote cycleway condition survey across its highway network. The work is to collect road-condition data during 2027, using survey and road-inspection services. Delivery is in West Sussex. The council is the buyer, and the requirement is a single lot for suppliers undertaking highway asset surveys and inspections.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. This process reached the tender stage. The enquiry deadline was 30 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the bid deadline was 10 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 30 December 2026 to 30 January 2028. The lot is valued at £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). Bids are evaluated as the Most Advantageous Tender, with price weighted at 70% and technical quality at 30%. The procurement is one lot, and participation is reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises based in West Sussex.

This opportunity is aimed at West Sussex-based SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises with the ability to survey footways and remote cycleways and provide reliable condition data for a highway network. Suppliers should be equipped to carry out road inspections and deliver technically sound survey results; technical quality accounts for 30% of the evaluation, alongside a substantial price weighting. The work is a defined, single-lot survey commission rather than a broader highways maintenance contract, so it is best suited to organisations whose core services include pavement or highway condition assessment and whose resources can cover the council’s network during the 2027 survey programme.

## Notice

West Sussex County Council are seeking to and identify suitably qualified and interested organisations to obtain road condition data for the highway network for footways and remote cycleways during 2027.
