## Summary

Guildford Borough Council procured the supply and installation of workshop and MOT bay equipment for a new purpose-built depot at Slyfield Industrial Estate in Guildford, Surrey. The depot will support the council’s frontline waste and recycling, street cleaning and housing repair services, with a vehicle workshop and central stores for building materials. The requirement is classified as workshop equipment (CPV 43800000) and falls within the goods category. The equipment will support vehicle maintenance and inspection operations at the council’s new operational facility. Businesses relevant to this requirement include suppliers and installers of commercial workshop equipment, vehicle maintenance systems and MOT bay equipment, particularly those able to deliver and commission equipment as part of a new depot facility.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed open procedure. Quotations closed on 16 April 2026 at noon, and Guildford Borough Council awarded the contract to JHM Butt & Co on 2 July 2026. The recorded awarded value is £0 GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 21 December 2026. The council’s wider programme anticipated equipment installation and commissioning around September 2026, after construction and snagging at the new depot. The award is active and covers the single stated requirement for workshop and MOT bay equipment supply and installation. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Guildford Borough Council’s demand for integrated workshop and MOT bay equipment at an operational depot. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply suitable commercial workshop equipment, understand vehicle maintenance and MOT bay environments, and provide installation and commissioning rather than equipment supply alone. Experience of fitting out new-build or purpose-built depots would be relevant, as would the capacity to coordinate delivery, installation and testing within a defined implementation programme. Suppliers should also be prepared to compete through an open public procurement procedure and demonstrate that their equipment and installation service can support frontline council vehicle operations.

## Notice

Guildford Borough Council (GBC) is inviting quotations for the supply and installation of workshop and MOT bay equipment at a new depot facility. As part of a borough-wide regeneration programme, the existing depot on Woking Road is being redeveloped for housing, with a new purpose-built site currently under construction at Slyfield Industrial Estate. The depot will accommodate the Council's key frontline services, including waste and recycling, street cleaning, housing repairs (supporting Council-owned properties), a vehicle workshop, and a central stores area for building materials. A separate storage area will also be provided for the Museum. The new depot represents a significant improvement for staff, bringing office-based and operational teams together in a modern, purpose-built facility. Construction is expected to complete in July 2026, with furniture, equipment installation and commissioning anticipated around September 2026, following snagging.
