UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council is seeking a contractor to hire temporary storage and site accommodation units across Northumberland. The requirement covers anti-vandal office and canteen units, welfare units, eco welfare units, welfare vans, secure store containers and drying rooms. It also includes secure toilet facilities, including self-contained chemical toilets, toilet blocks and shower units. The service covers delivery and collection, maintenance, testing, operator training and monitoring; toilets and consumables are to be serviced weekly where applicable. This is a supply contract for temporary construction-site facilities and associated support. The units are for use at sites throughout Northumberland.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 19 October 2026 at 17:00 BST; the submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The estimated contract period runs from 13 January 2027 to 12 January 2029, with three optional 12-month extensions, potentially extending to 12 January 2032. The estimated value is £1.8 million excluding VAT (£2.16 million including VAT). There is one lot, and the evaluation weights price at 60% and quality at 40%. The planned award decision date is 30 November 2026. Offers may be submitted electronically in English.

This requirement may suit suppliers able to provide temporary site accommodation and secure storage alongside welfare and toilet facilities. The service needs operational capacity across Northumberland for delivery, collection, testing, maintenance, monitoring and operator training, with weekly toilet servicing and replenishment of consumables where applicable. Suppliers will need to cover a varied equipment range, from office and canteen units to drying rooms, secure containers, shower units and toilet blocks. The single lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Price and quality both contribute to evaluation, so suppliers should be equipped to deliver the specified range and ongoing support, not simply hire out units.
