Summary of the contracting process

Wellington Town Council is procuring refurbishment works to the public toilets in North Street Car Park, Wellington. The work is to be delivered in two phases, with at least three toilets or urinals kept in operation throughout. This is a public conveniences refurbishment project, classified as construction work. The requirement is suited to contractors able to plan and carry out refurbishment in phases while maintaining part of the facility for public use. The procurement is divided into one lot, covering the refurbishment as a single package. The stated delivery location is in the United Kingdom; the named site is North Street Car Park in Wellington.

The council invited offers through an open procedure, and the process reached tender stage. The tender deadline set was 29 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC; questions had to be submitted by 20 October 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The estimated contract value is £42,000 excluding VAT (£50,400 including VAT). The contract period is scheduled from 4 January to 26 February 2027, with a possible schedule adjustment or gap between phases; all work must be completed and invoiced by 31 March 2027. The council planned to decide the award by 8 December 2026. Evaluation is weighted 80% on cost and 20% on quality, with quality assessed through evidence of a proven track record. The council corrected its tender email address and confirmed that a formal request for quotation is not required.

This opportunity is aimed at contractors with a proven track record of refurbishing public conveniences. The council requires two references, case studies or testimonials for similar projects to be submitted with the tender, so suppliers should be able to evidence relevant completed work. The phased delivery requirement makes experience in sequencing works and maintaining public access to functioning toilets and urinals particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to compete. The single-lot package is a focused refurbishment contract rather than a multi-lot programme, making it relevant to firms able to undertake public toilet refurbishment and manage continuity of service on site. The evaluation gives cost the larger share, while quality evidence also contributes to the decision.
