## Summary

Guildford Borough Council has awarded a contract for the replacement of approximately 670 metres of boardwalk at the Riverside Nature Reserve. This procurement process, initiated as an open tender below the threshold, aimed to ensure continued access across the Fen habitat as the existing boardwalk reached the end of its lifespan. Keystone Environmental Ltd, based in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, has been selected as the supplier for this works category project, valued at £753,654. The contract period is set between 1st May 2026 and 30th September 2026, with future signature dates scheduled for the end of April 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in installation and structural works to expand their portfolio within the public sector, particularly in environmental infrastructure projects. Companies specialising in boardwalk construction, walkway installations, and structural works could find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar future procurement processes. As the tender was part of an open competition, smaller businesses that met the qualifications and standards could leverage this opportunity to collaborate with public authorities such as Guildford Borough Council, fostering growth in regional infrastructure development.
