Summary of the contracting process

A recent procurement process led by Sunderland City Council involves the installation of a modular accessible toilet at Thompson Park. This project, officially titled "Thompson Park Modular Accessible Toilet," falls under the goods category, specifically modular and portable buildings. The council's in-house Property Services team will utilise an existing structure for additional bathroom facilities, but the modular unit is necessary to accommodate accessible needs. The process employed an open competition method, adhering to the stipulated procurement framework. This project reached the award stage on 1st December 2025, with the contract period set from 1st December 2025 to 31st March 2026. Sunderland, located in the UKC23 region of the United Kingdom, is the specified delivery locale.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, who specialise in the provision of modular and portable buildings. Given the need to transform existing infrastructure with innovative solutions, businesses with expertise in custom modular structures and accessibility compliance could find this project beneficial for portfolio expansion and revenue growth. The project encourages competition by utilising a below-threshold open tender process, potentially attracting a diverse array of suppliers. CLEMENTINE SERVICES LTD, a North Tyneside-based SME, has already been awarded the contract, highlighting opportunities for similar enterprises to engage in future public sector tenders.

Notice Title

Thompson Park Modular Accessible Toilet

Notice Description

There is an existing building, previously used as a changing room for sports teams that is no longer in use, and this will be utilised to transform into Male and Female WCs and this work will be undertaken by the Councils in house Property Services team. However, the building is not large enough to also incorporate an accessible toilet for use by those with restricted ability. As such, the requirement is for a modular accessible toilet to be installed on site.
