If it's at a Ford dealer I doubt they'll be using a Gates kit and water pump, they'll be using the genuine Ford bits. They will probably be somewhat more expensive than after market Gates bits.
You do know ford don't make timing belts right. The main dealer part is likely too be a gates kit in a main dealer part. If you go too Kia for a clutch for example it will be a luk clutch in a main dealer box.MG CHRIS said:

No special tools needed just a bottle of tippex.
On some zetecs the belt doesn't drive the water pump but.. to change the pump possibly at a later date means the belt has to be removed to get to the rear most pump bolt so may as well be done at cambelt change anyway.
Local workshop I use for all my trade cars £200 Inc the kit.
Most likely £260 retail.

Ford wanted £540, and 3 Indys £400. Maybe your workshop spins the crank stretch bolt off and back on with an impact gun, without locking the crank. My crank pulley isn't keyed onto the crank, I preferred to lock the crank. The tool to lock the vvt cam pulleys is cheap, so I wasn't interested in faffing around with tipex either.No special tools needed just a bottle of tippex.

It'll be in a Ford box but it's still a Gates kit. Gates supply Ford OE.Robmarriott said:
