The contract period is from 20th November 2023 to 16th February 2024, with the tender period ending on 10th October 2023. The buyer organisation is the Guildford Borough Council located in Guildford, England, in the industry categories of Playground equipment, Construction work, Architectural design services, and Recreational, cultural, and sporting services.
