Summary of the contracting process

Redditch Borough Council procured the hire of modular changing rooms for a sports centre. The requirement covers portable or modular buildings (CPV 44211100), supplied as temporary sports-facility accommodation rather than permanent construction. The council is the buying organisation and the work relates to delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement was made through the ESPO 953_26 framework, Lot 5 for modular buildings hire, linking the requirement to suppliers able to provide leased or hired modular accommodation through an established public-sector purchasing arrangement. Businesses operating in modular buildings, portable facilities, temporary accommodation or specialist changing-room provision would find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can support a local-authority sports facility and manage the supply, installation and hire of suitable units.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Portakabin (Site Accommodation) Limited. It used a selective procedure, with a below-threshold award under an existing framework, and was non-competitive at call-off level. There was one completed lot. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT and £56,025 including VAT. The award covers the modular and portable buildings requirement for the changing rooms. The contract is active, while the tender itself is complete. The award was made under ESPO 953_26 Lot 5, so the route depended on access to and compliance with that framework.

This award shows demand from Redditch Borough Council for short-term modular accommodation supporting sports-centre operations. A credible future competitor would need to supply robust portable buildings suitable for changing-room use, arrange delivery and installation, and manage hire-period support, removal or adaptation as required. Experience in temporary buildings and facilities for public-sector, leisure or sporting settings would help demonstrate practical suitability. Suppliers should also understand how to operate through a framework agreement, including its catalogue, commercial terms, ordering process and compliance requirements. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large construction business. Relevant firms should monitor their framework eligibility and capability for compact, time-limited accommodation projects.
