## Summary

The procurement process led by Guildford Borough Council focuses on the installation of pool covers at the Guildford Lido. The project, titled "Guildford Lido Pool Cover", falls under the industry category of goods, specifically equipment for swimming pools. Located in Guildford, United Kingdom, this tender is currently in the award stage, and procurement was conducted directly due to its below-threshold value, without competition. The contract is valued at £121,551.31 and will span from 15th November 2025 to 30th June 2026. The Council aims for significant utility cost savings and extended leisure provisions through this initiative, contributing to its broader environmental goals.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for growth, especially for businesses in the aquatic equipment manufacturing sector. With external funding of up to £145,000 approved, companies specialising in energy-saving solutions and sustainable operations have a promising avenue for showcasing their products. PLASTICA LIMITED, an SME based in St. Leonards On Sea, has been chosen as the supplier, indicating that businesses of a similar scale, with expertise in niche environmental innovations for leisure facilities, are well-suited to compete in future procurement opportunities of this nature.

## Notice

External funding has been approved for up to PS145,000 for the installation of pool covers which will result in significant financial savings through saving mainly on utility costs but also chemical and water consumption. These savings will enable the pool to be operated all year round which therefore increases the leisure provision for residents. The installation of these covers will also contribute to the Council's environmental initiatives. A significant amount of investigatory work has also been undertaken in respect of benchmarking the chosen pool cover type, including how it will used and operated in practical terms over the coming years.
