Summary of the contracting process

Yate Town Council is procuring works to supply and install a new Changing Places facility at Yate Outdoor Sports Complex in Yate, South Gloucestershire. The scope includes the facility, associated groundworks and utility connections, with the completed installation required to comply with Changing Places Consortium requirements and be capable of registration with the Consortium. Suppliers must allow for three possible location options identified in the project documents. The arrangement is a construction and design-and-build project for the Council, using a JCT Design and Build contract. The supporting requirements cover the facility’s structure and equipment, site conditions, drainage and layout. Monthly valuations will apply, with retention arrangements forming part of the commercial terms.

The procurement has reached tender: Yate Town Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Tenders were invited from 27 July 2026 and must be submitted electronically by noon on 18 September 2026 to the tender email specified in the tender documents. The contract is planned to run from 1 December 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its estimated value is £71,000 excluding VAT, or £85,200 including VAT. Evaluation is based on price of works at 34%, relevant experience at 33%, and technical skills at 33%. Bidders must provide priced options for three locations, a priced and timed completion schedule, risk assessments and method statements, guarantees or warranties, aftercare and maintenance proposals, specialist equipment requirements including LOLER, and available training.

This opportunity suits construction contractors able to deliver a complete small-to-medium design-and-build installation, including groundworks, utility connections and specialist accessible sanitary equipment. It is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Strong bidders will be able to demonstrate three comparable projects completed within the previous three years, giving their scope, approximate budget and duration. The Council also expects evidence of relevant company and employee skills, certifications and qualifications, together with robust risk assessments and method statements. Suppliers should be able to meet Changing Places Consortium standards, provide guarantees for the structure and equipment, and support ongoing maintenance, servicing, LOLER-related requirements and user or operator training. The requirement therefore favours experienced accessibility-facility, specialist building or healthcare and public-sector installation contractors.
