UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council is seeking a supplier to hire temporary storage and site accommodation units for use across Northumberland. The requirement includes anti-vandal office and canteen units, welfare units, welfare vans, secure storage containers and drying rooms, as well as chemical toilets, toilet blocks and shower units. The service also covers delivery, collection, maintenance, testing, operator training and monitoring; toilet units may require weekly servicing and replenishment of consumables. This is a supply and hire opportunity for businesses providing temporary site facilities and storage equipment, with associated servicing and logistical support. The procurement is managed by Northumberland County Council.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. There is one lot, with bids evaluated on a 60% price and 40% quality basis. The enquiry deadline was 19 October 2026 at 17:00 UK time, and the offer submission deadline was 26 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 13 January 2027 to 12 January 2029, with three optional 12-month extensions, potentially extending the period to 12 January 2032. The estimated value is £1.8 million excluding VAT (£2.16 million including VAT). The stated award decision deadline is 23 November 2026. Electronic submissions are permitted and bids must be in English.

The requirement suits suppliers able to provide a varied fleet of temporary welfare, accommodation, storage and toilet units, rather than a single type of facility. Delivery and collection across Northumberland, equipment testing, maintenance, monitoring and operator training are part of the service, so bidders will need the operational capability to coordinate equipment and support at multiple sites across the county. Toilet provision may also involve weekly cleaning and restocking of consumables. Suppliers with secure anti-vandal containers, welfare units, drying rooms, showers and self-contained chemical toilets in their hire range will find the specified scope relevant. The council identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Quality makes up 40% of the evaluation, alongside price.
