## Summary

The procurement process for the Weyside Urban Village - Reptile Translocation project is managed by Guildford Borough Council and falls under the environmental services industry category. The buying organisation has awarded the contract to Thomson Environmental Consultants Ltd as of 9th April 2026. This process, under the "award" stage, aims to facilitate the progress of the Weyside Urban Village development in Surrey by executing a second reptile translocation. The contract spans from 13th April to 11th September 2026, with works taking place predominantly at the former Bellfields Allotments. This contract is a significant logistical undertaking due to location considerations and the specific nature of the environmental planning involved, although procurement method details were not specified.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for firms specialising in environmental services, particularly those with expertise in environmental planning and rehabilitation. Companies with experience in handling complex translocation projects and who can navigate logistical aspects in various locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and wider Europe, would be well-positioned. With a contract value of £150,000, it provides a significant opportunity for business growth within the environmental sector. Prospective businesses should possess an established relationship with construction entities like Winvic to streamline operations on site access and integration observed in similar projects. This tender is less suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and may not cater directly to voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors due to its scale and environmental focus.

## Notice

The reptile translocation is being undertaken to enable the Weyside Urban Village (WUV) development to progress. Planning permission for the WUV hybrid application was secured in March 2022. An initial reptile translocation was carried out in 2023, however due to delays to the development and lack of area management, GBC requires a further translocation exercise to take place. See Technical Note prepared by Stantec dated June 25 ' WUV Phase 1 Reptile Translocation 2023 and Summary of Management Measures & Monitoring 2025'. This Technical note provides a summary of the works undertaken to date and the condition of the Phase 1 Reptile Translocation Site in May 2025. The reptile translocation area primarily lies within the Phase 1 Development Area of WUV on the site of an area of former allotments (Bellfields Allotments) and is referred to in this note as the "Phase 1 Reptile Translocation Site" for ease of reference, albeit some parts of the translocation site fall within adjacent subsequent phases of the WUV development. The area of Bellfields Allotments, within the "Phase 1 Reptile Translocation Site" was transferred from Guildford Allotment Society (GAS) to Guilford Borough Council ownership in April 2023. Note that at the time of writing this specification, Winvic have access to the southern end of the site as part of a site compound. Access to the site will need to be agreed by the Contractor with Winvic,
