UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council commissioned building refurbishment works at Watcombe Primary School in Torquay. The requirement was a full refurbishment of the nursery toilets, including replacement or improvement of WCs, basins, IPS cubicles, flooring and associated services. This is a small, contained school refurbishment project rather than a general facilities-management or supply contract. The main work category is overhaul and refurbishment work (CPV 45453000). The council is the public-sector buyer and the delivery location is Watcombe Primary School, Torquay. The requirement covered one package of works, bringing together the toilet fixtures, cubicle systems, finishes and building services needed to complete the nursery toilet refurbishment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Marks Building Services Ltd, an SME based in Paignton. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 20 July 2026 and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The active contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 4 September 2026. Its value is £69,061 excluding VAT, or £82,873.20 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the full requirement, and the award relates to that lot. The selected supplier is responsible for the refurbishment works. The available outcome shows a single active award and an active contract for the Watcombe Primary School nursery toilets.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Torbay Council for specialist building contractors able to deliver a complete school toilet refurbishment as a single, coordinated package. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would combine experience in refurbishment works with practical capability across sanitaryware, basins, IPS cubicles, flooring and associated building services. Credible competitors would need to manage several trades and interfaces, work safely in a school environment, and complete a focused project within a short delivery window. The award to an SME indicates that this scale and type of council works can be delivered by a smaller building business with suitable in-house skills or reliable subcontractor capacity. Experience in education or occupied public buildings would strengthen a comparable proposition.
