UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission is procuring refurbishment works for the toilet block at Santon Downham Office in Brandon, Suffolk, postcode IP27 0TJ. The requirement is a building construction project focused on renovating an existing toilet facility. The work is classified as building construction work and is intended for delivery at the Santon Downham office site. Forestry England is identified in the requirement description as the organisation inviting bids, while the contracting buyer is the Forestry Commission. This opportunity is therefore relevant to building contractors, construction firms and refurbishment specialists able to undertake toilet-block renovation works at a public-sector office site in Brandon. The requirement is presented as one defined refurbishment project rather than a wider programme of unrelated construction services.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot. The deadline for enquiries was 11 September 2026 at 16:00 UTC, and the tender submission deadline was 25 September 2026 at 11:00 UTC. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £95,000 excluding VAT, or £114,000 including VAT. Bids may be submitted electronically. The buyer states that evaluation criteria are set out in the Invitation to Tender document. The lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits construction contractors and refurbishment specialists with practical experience of renovating toilet blocks or comparable facilities within an office or public-sector setting. A suitable supplier would need the capability to carry out building construction work at the Santon Downham site and to manage the delivery of a defined refurbishment project. The stated suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises indicates that the requirement is intended to be accessible to smaller businesses as well as larger contractors. It is also identified as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to organisations in those sectors with an appropriate construction capability. Suppliers should review the Invitation to Tender requirements to confirm the detailed technical, quality and delivery expectations before deciding whether to bid.
