## Summary

Guildford Borough Council has initiated a tender process inviting relevant businesses to submit quotations for supplying and installing workshop and MOT bay equipment at their new depot located at Slyfield Industrial Estate, Guildford. This tender is part of a broader borough-wide regeneration programme, which involves replacing the existing facility on Woking Road with a modern site that will enhance the efficiency of various council services. The tender is currently in the active stage with the closing date for submissions set on 16 April 2026 at 12:00 GMT. The new facility is anticipated to be completed by July 2026, with full equipment rollout scheduled between June and September 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure categorised under "goods" with significant emphasis on quality and social value, as well as price. The estimated contract value for equipment and services is £190,000 with a gross amount of £228,000.

This tender represents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in machine tools, workshop equipment, construction work, and installation services of electrical and mechanical equipment. Firms that possess capabilities in lifting and handling equipment, along with experience in supplying and fitting workshop apparatus, are ideally suited to compete. Given the open procurement nature, new businesses looking to break into governmental supply chains or expand their portfolio might find this tender especially appealing. Additionally, the focus on quality and social value provides companies with strong qualitative offerings a chance to showcase their strengths. Participation in this tender can serve as a strategic entry into collaborations with public authorities while supporting local regeneration projects.

## 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.
