What the notice says
Chichester Harbour Conservancy ("The Conservancy") is inviting quotes to undertake improvements to the Apuldram Manor Farm Permissive footpath. The overall aim of the project is to reinstate the existing path back into full use so as to avoid users needing to cut down onto the foreshore or into the adjacent agricultural fields. The ultimate aims of this specification are to identify a suitable contractor and enter into an agreement between that party and the Conservancy to undertake the works with an anticipated start date of September 2026. • The anticipated contract value for this procurement is between £50,000 and £145,000 (excluding VAT).
