UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council procured works to refurbish public toilets in Dulverton. The requirement is a building refurbishment project, covering the improvement of toilet facilities rather than the supply of standalone goods or routine cleaning services. The buyer is Somerset Council, a local public authority based in Taunton. Delivery is in Dulverton, Somerset, within the council’s area. The procurement is relevant to building contractors and refurbishment specialists able to carry out public-facing facility upgrades. It may also suit smaller construction businesses with experience coordinating site works, trades and completion of refurbished premises for a local authority. The named requirement is focused on one toilet refurbishment project, so suppliers whose work is limited to unrelated civil engineering, facilities management or product supply are less closely aligned with its scope.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Harris Bros. and Collard Limited was selected as the supplier. The award is active and the contract was signed on 11 July 2026. The contract runs from 12 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £36,175 excluding VAT, or £43,410 including VAT. The procurement used one completed lot. The published classification is CPV 45453100, refurbishment work. The process therefore records a completed, single-supplier award for a short-duration refurbishment contract, rather than an opportunity for further bids. The award route indicates that the council used a direct below-threshold appointment without a competitive tender.

This procurement provides a clear example of Somerset Council’s demand for local public toilet refurbishment delivered as a defined works project. A competitor seeking similar council work would need to demonstrate practical building-refurbishment capability, reliable coordination of trades and the capacity to complete a compact project within a tightly defined delivery window. Experience working in public-facing facilities would help establish credibility, particularly where works must be organised safely and completed to a usable standard. The appointed supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Bridgwater, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by an SME rather than only by a major national contractor. Contractors operating in Somerset with comparable refurbishment experience should monitor this buyer’s future requirements.
