Summary of the contracting process

Looe Town Council has completed the award stage of the procurement process for the project entitled "Guildhall Public Conveniences - plumbing and sanitary ware refurbishment." This project, located at PL13 2AF in Looe, focuses on the repair and maintenance of public convenience facilities. The procurement process followed an open procedure as it falls below the threshold, with a total contract value of £38,168.40. The works are scheduled to commence on 7th September 2026 and are expected to conclude by 30th September 2026, with the public conveniences slated to reopen on 1st October 2026.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), specifically those specialised in plumbing and maintenance services. The successful bidder, Sam Wilkinson Plumbing & Heating, exemplifies the type of SME well-suited for projects of this nature, allowing for local business growth. Businesses with experience in public infrastructure projects and an ability to meet high standards of commercial quality fittings and fixtures will find similar tenders beneficial for expanding their portfolio in government contracts. The project includes comprehensive tasks ranging from the removal and installation of modern sanitation fixtures to collaborate efficiently with flooring contractors, thereby requiring skilled project management and plumbing expertise.
