Three companies are bidding for a contract to build a new hospital.

The £7 million community hospital and social care centre is planned for Littlehampton.

Adur, Arun and Worthing Primary Care Trust wants people to help it evaluate the proposals.

The hospital will have two 20-bed wards and treatment rooms offering chiropody, speech and language therapy and physiotherapy.

A briefing will be held on April 4 to give an overview of the project and will be followed by a half-day session on April 7 and two half-day sessions on April 8 to study the three proposals. Feedback from the sessions will be part of the final evaluation done by the trust.
