Ridgewood Village Hall Car Park

Uckfield Town Council is soliciting a fixed-price contract for the Ridgewood Village Hall Car Park project in Uckfield, East Sussex. The scope of work is designed to address historical flooding and surface deterioration through the installation of a new soakaway to manage water run-off from the play area field, grading of the car park to prevent water ingress into the main hall, full re-tarmacking of the area, and the line marking of parking bays. The project is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, with an estimated total value of 60,000 GBP excluding VAT, and a maximum budget range of 40,000 GBP to 60,000 GBP excluding VAT. The procurement process involves a review by nominated Councillors, the Chief Officer, and the Facilities and Compliance Manager using a scoring matrix to identify the top two contractors for final consideration by the General Purposes Committee. Contractors must provide formal designs and quotations by the submission deadline of November 6, 2026. Award criteria are based on price and design quality. Selected contractors are required to prioritize public safety and environmental sustainability, providing early notice to the Council to coordinate site cordons and public announcements. The contract will be administered by James Hollingdale, the Facilities and Compliance Manager.
