Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive has completed a public procurement process for the provision of portable chemical toilets for Irish Traveller sites. This procurement process, tagged as P0674, falls under the services category of 'Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services'. The contract, valued at £81,873.22 gross, was awarded to Balloo Hire Centre Limited, a Belfast-based SME. The procurement employed an open competitive flexible procedure, and the contract period extends from 13th June 2026 to 12th June 2029, with a possible extension of up to three additional years. Key stages included the tender announcement on 22nd April 2026, with a tender deadline of 19th May 2026, and the award decision in June 2026. The project's focus is primarily in Northern Ireland, following Northern Irish devolved regulations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in sanitation services, particularly those that can offer environmentally-friendly toilet solutions. Companies with expertise in managing portable sanitation services for diverse site conditions, including remote or temporary encampments, will find this contract highly suitable. As the awarded supplier is an SME, this demonstrates the procurement's openness to smaller enterprises, providing them a platform to compete alongside larger firms. The engagement can also help businesses in the sector to expand their operations and build a robust portfolio within government-related contracts.
