Summary of the contracting process

Looe Town Council procured works to refurbish the plumbing and sanitary ware at the Guildhall public conveniences in Looe. The requirement covers removal, inspection, repair and refitting of fixed plumbing, toilets, sinks, sink units and cubicles, with waste removed from site daily. The contractor is also responsible for coordinating with the resin flooring contractor, preparing floors, providing pedestrian barriers and leaving the facilities clean and ready for reopening. Fixtures and fittings include five commercial-quality cisterns, five toilet bowls, five cubicles, two sink vanity units, four sinks with low-water single taps, and a commercial-quality accessible toilet and sink with a low-water tap. This is a works contract for public convenience repair and maintenance, classified under CPV 50760000.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure below the threshold. The tender closed on 10 July 2026 at 17:00, and the contract was awarded on 31 July 2026 to Sam Wilkinson Plumbing & Heating. The awarded value is £38,168.40 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 September 2026, with works planned in phases around resin flooring: initial plumbing and preparation, flooring installation and curing, then installation and testing of the new sanitary ware. The original estimated value was £10,000. The contract includes a six-month guarantee against faulty installation and workmanship. Looe Town Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award shows that Looe Town Council uses an open, below-threshold route for small public convenience refurbishment projects and can appoint an SME plumbing and heating contractor. A credible future supplier would need to manage a complete site package rather than isolated plumbing tasks: surveying and repairing fixed plumbing, supplying commercial-quality sanitary ware and cubicles, coordinating safely with another flooring contractor, protecting the public from the work area and removing waste daily. Relevant capability also includes installing accessible facilities and low-water fittings, working in phased programmes, testing installations with council staff and delivering a clean handover. Businesses should be able to provide itemised and whole-project pricing, recommend suitable durable products, and stand behind installation quality through a defined workmanship guarantee.
