Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Cornwall Council procuring a service concession to operate public toilet facilities across 39 locations in Cornwall. The title of this procurement is "Your Convenience Service Concession," and it falls under the industry category of non-residential property renting or leasing services. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase, with the contract period set to commence on 1st April 2016 and extend until 30th September 2114. Interested parties were required to submit their tenders by 31st July 2015, with further specifics available in the Service Concession documents.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in facility management, particularly those focused on public services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises could find a competitive edge here, especially if they can propose innovative models that keep at least 50% of each facility as a public toilet while potentially including commercial elements. This initiative not only supports community services but also allows businesses the chance to diversify their operations and tap into local customer bases.

Notice Title

Your Convenience Service Concession

Notice Description

Cornwall Council is seeking to appoint providers to run the public toilet service at 39 different toilets across Cornwall. Tenderers can provide a Service Concession submission for one or more than one of the 39 toilets recorded in the List of Public Conveniences included with the Advert by downloading the relevant Service Concession document. Each of the Service Concessions for the Public Conveniences are numbered 1-39. The Your Convenience Lease (Schedule 4) that will be applied to each Public Convenience can be downloaded as a separate document together with the 1-2 Property Specific Documents for each facility (Schedule 5). Please download the Service Concession, Lease and Property Specific Documents for each of the facilities that you wish to tender for. The Clarification Log can be used if you wish to submit a query relating to the tender process for these Service Concessions. There is no budget to pay for this service from April 2016. However it is considered that organisations may be able to continue to keep the toilets open either to support existing businesses and organisations, or by using up to 50% of the asset as a commercial service concession, and therefore we are keen to receive your proposals. The provision of the public toilet service will form part of a Lease which is expected to be granted in October 2015 to the successful tenderer/s. Leases are available for periods of between 5 and 99 years. There will be a mobilisation period and the Contract Commences on 01.04.16. Please refer to the Service Concession Timetable within the Service Concession for further details of the key dates for this project. Please note that the toilets are currently a public service and there is a possibility that they will remain a public service via transfer to the local Town or Parish Council. This is carried out under the Devolution process which will not end until 30th September 2015. As a minimum, the Business Plan submitted with your tender must retain at least 50% of the toilet area as a public toilet although tenderers can provide a proposal that ensures that 100% of the facility remains a public toilet. It will be possible to consider proposals which require a larger amount of the toilet asset to be used for a commercial service concession only if the larger area is essential to ensure some form of public toilet provision. However the minimum provision must be a single unisex toilet, with the retention of any existing disabled toilets.
