UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by South Tyneside Borough Council focuses on the provision of chemical toilets for hire at mass events, with the title "Temporary Toilets." This contract falls within the entertainment services industry category and is significant for events in the UK, particularly within the UKC region. The procurement, initiated as a direct award due to no initial bids under a framework, was finalised on 13th March 2026, with the contract period beginning on 1st April 2026 and potentially extending beyond 2029, up to 2030. The contract is in the award stage, a process below the threshold, organized without competition, and falls under sub-central government public authority procurement.

It offers potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in equipment rental services, particularly those that can supply accessible and fit-for-purpose sanitary solutions compliant with disability standards.
