UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured portable toilet facilities and associated servicing for various meanwhile vehicle dweller sites across Bristol. The requirement supports the continuing delivery of essential sanitation services, so the relevant work is the supply, installation or hire, servicing and management of portable toilets for temporary or managed sites. The procurement is classified as goods and covers chemical toilets (CPV 24955000), with related servicing forming part of the requirement. Delivery and service activity is across Bristol. This is a single-requirement procurement for a local authority, suited to businesses that provide portable sanitation equipment and can maintain facilities at multiple sites within the city. The selected supplier was Mendip Toilet Hire Limited, a Bristol-based small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in this type of provision.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Bristol City Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Mendip Toilet Hire Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 17 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £8,000 excluding VAT and £9,600 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The available procurement record sets out the requirement, supplier, contract period and value, but does not describe a scored evaluation basis. The outcome is therefore a completed, short-term local-authority purchase for portable toilet facilities and servicing rather than an open competitive tender.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Bristol City Council for managed portable sanitation at meanwhile vehicle dweller sites, including both the facilities themselves and ongoing servicing. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable portable toilet stock, the ability to deploy and maintain units at several Bristol locations, and reliable scheduling for cleaning, replenishment, emptying and fault response. Operational capacity matters because the service supports essential sanitation rather than a one-off equipment delivery. Relevant experience in temporary-site, event, construction, accommodation or community sanitation could help demonstrate practical competence, provided it relates directly to portable toilet hire and servicing. A local or regional operating base would support responsive attendance, while clear arrangements for safe servicing, hygiene and customer communication would strengthen a future offer.
