## Summary

The Guildford Borough Council has awarded a contract for the provision of a sustainable active travel network for the A3 Guildford area. The procurement was for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) services other than for construction. The contract was awarded to Velocity Transport Planning Limited on 30th June 2023. The Council initiated this tender using a limited procurement method without prior publication, following ineffectiveness in accordance with PCR regulation 99(1)(2).

This tender presents opportunities for businesses, especially SMEs in the environmental services industry. The contract focuses on improving air quality in the A3 area of Guildford through sustainable transport initiatives. Businesses with expertise in EIA services and active travel networks would be well-suited to compete. The contract is part of the Council's efforts to promote sustainable travel and reduce environmental impact in the Guildford region.

## Notice

This is not an opportunity but a VEAT notice to publish the intent to enter into a contract for an experienced local supplier for the provision of a sustainable active travel network. The opportunity was published via Contracts Finder but the Council did not reasonably foresee the estimated contract value exceeding the PCR threshold for services based on the Council's knowledge, experience and contract value from a previous contract for similar services. As such the Council are publishing a VEAT notice on the ground of ineffectiveness in accordance with PCR Regulation 99(1)(2) under Part 2(6)(7).

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Contract is for the provision of a sustainable active travel network focused on supporting organisations whose employees travel to work on the A3 as it passes through Guildford, Surrey. This is part of a package of measures to improve air quality, called the Electric Towns and Cities Initiative.

### Procurement Information

The Council are publishing a VEAT notice to confirm that the procedure is deemed to be ineffective in accordance with PCR regulation 99(1)(2) under Part 2 6(7) as the Council did not reasonably foresee that the estimated contract value would exceed the PCR Threshold for services at the time of publication.
