Summary of the contracting process

Guildford Borough Council procured infrastructure works for Phases 1 and 3 of the Weyside Urban Village development in Guildford, including land south of Bellfield Allotments and the council depot site, plus pedestrian and cycle-path improvements at Farm Close, Mangles Road and the towpath. The construction package covers surveys and monitoring, demolition, vegetation clearance, site preparation and remediation where needed, drainage and utility infrastructure, highway formation and junction works, street lighting, signage and street furniture. The contractor is also responsible for maintaining reptile-translocation fencing and carrying out inspections. Nearby activities by the council and statutory bodies include groundwater monitoring, ecology and archaeology oversight, utility diversions, sewerage-treatment works relocation and other highway and demolition work; these are separate from this contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Natta Building Company Ltd. The award is dated 22 October 2026 and is valued at £10,399,903.38 excluding VAT (£12,479,884.06 including VAT). The award period is 1 March 2027 to 29 February 2028, with an option for one six-month extension, to 31 August 2028. The tender used a competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, with supplier selection, negotiation and final tender stages. Four bids were received and one supplier submitted a final-stage bid. The winning submission was assessed on quality (55%), commercial submission (40%) and social value (5%).

This award shows that Guildford Borough Council buys substantial, multi-discipline infrastructure packages to support urban regeneration. A credible competitor would need the capability to deliver coordinated enabling and civil engineering works, including demolition, site preparation and remediation, drainage, utilities, highways, public-realm works and environmental controls such as reptile fencing. The scope calls for managing interfaces with the council, statutory undertakers and separate ecological and archaeological specialists working nearby. The award followed a competitive process that tested supplier suitability, capability and financial standing before negotiations and final tenders, with quality the largest scoring element and social value also assessed. Suppliers with strong delivery planning, technical quality and the capacity to manage a complex construction programme would be well placed to compete for this buyer’s comparable requirement.
