West Sussex County Council is a designated Highways Authority under the Highways Act 1980 and has a duty to maintain highways maintainable at public expense.
Following extensive review, the County Council approved a new procurement strategy for the delivery of key highway works in 2019. This arrangement for revenue and capital delivery went live in April 2020 and the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport delegated authority to the Director for Highways, Transport and Planning to award single supplier contracts. The provision of hedge maintenance and grass cutting services (Lot 3) was included within the model.
Following review, it is proposed to extend the contract from the initial period April 2020 – March 2025 to the full-term option to March 2030.
The Assistant Director (Highways, Transport and Planning) will be asked to award a five-year extension to the contract for the provision of hedge maintenance and grass cutting services (Lot 3) to March 2030.
