In plain English

Guildford Borough Council is asking suppliers for information about installing suicide prevention measures (and vehicular edge protection at one site) at its multi-storey car parks, including temporary short-term measures at all sites. This is early market research only, not a tender — responses are a PDF questionnaire covering solutions, design, installation, disruption, timescales, indicative costs and possible procurement routes, due by 1 October 2026.

Good fit for: Specialist barrier, anti-climb or fall-prevention installers and contractors with car park or structural works experience.

Watch out: Questions ask for years of experience in suicide/fall prevention, multi-storey car park work and public-sector projects, plus similar projects from the last 5 years; Interest in whether you can act as principal contractor or design-and-build, and which supplier lists you're on; No payment for taking part, and the council may not go on to buy anything
