The project, titled "Guildford Lido Pool Cover", falls under the industry category of goods, specifically equipment for swimming pools. Located in Guildford, United Kingdom, this tender is currently in the award stage, and procurement was conducted directly due to its below-threshold value, without competition. The contract is valued at £121,551.31 and will span from 15th November 2025 to 30th June 2026. The Council aims for significant utility cost savings and extended leisure provisions through this initiative, contributing to its broader environmental goals.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for growth, especially for businesses in the aquatic equipment manufacturing sector.
