The Capital Projects Delivery Team is responsible for:
- new buildings and alteration and adaptation of existing buildings
- providing advice for the disposal and/or acquisition of land.
We spend around £50m a year on projects (excluding Private Finance Initiative (PFI), Public Private Partnership (PPP) and Design Build Operate (DBO) projects). Our aim is to ensure that all schemes are delivered within the parameters of good design, programme, budget and quality in the most sustainable and economical way possible.
Building contract directives
Economy Planning and Place continually strives to maintain standards of quality in the design, construction, repair and operation of buildings owned and managed by West Sussex County Council.
Guidance on the procedures to be followed by consultants, contractors, architects and administrators can be found in the BCD documents listed below, which are available by request.
