Summary of the contracting process

Guildford Borough Council has successfully concluded a procurement process for conservation, repair, and consolidation works at the Chilworth Gunpowder Mills, specifically targeting the early 20th Century spillway and culvert. The procurement process, initiated as a tender and classified under the 'works' category, falls within the sub-central government public authority scheme. Conducted as a limited competition owing to its below-threshold nature, the contract was awarded to Archer Stone Restoration Limited, with the project situated in the United Kingdom's South East region. The procurement reached the award stage on 15 December 2025, following the contractual period from 11 August to 3 October 2025. The total contract value was GBP 72,248, exclusive of VAT, reinforcing the Council's dedication to preserving historical sites.

This tender provides notable opportunities for businesses specialising in restoration and conservation works, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who can effectively deliver period-specific repair services. Archer Stone Restoration Limited's successful bid underscores the suitability of specialised firms in the construction and restoration industries to partake in similar heritage conservation projects. Businesses positioned in or aiming to establish in the South East region could leverage such opportunities by enhancing their portfolio in historical and restoration work, thereby opening avenues for growth in public sector contracting.
