UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Oceanography Centre is refurbishing its Level 2 toilet facilities in Southampton. The works replace existing male, female and accessible toilets with four self-contained unisex cubicles and one wheelchair-accessible toilet with baby-changing facilities. The project includes stripping out the existing facilities and installing sanitaryware, cubicles, IPS systems, partitions, doors, ceilings, flooring and wall finishes. Associated mechanical, plumbing, ventilation and electrical alterations are included, as are testing, commissioning, certification, making good, final cleaning and handover documentation. This is a building refurbishment and fit-out project for the Centre’s Southampton premises.

The procurement is complete: the National Oceanography Centre selected West End Roofing and Construction Limited, and the contract was signed on 15 October 2026. The contract runs from 19 October to 18 December 2026. Its value is £100,532.32 excluding VAT (£120,638.78 including VAT). The requirement was competed through a below-threshold limited competition and was divided into one lot. The available procurement details do not state the evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements.

For comparable future work at the National Oceanography Centre, credible suppliers would need to demonstrate capability in occupied-building toilet refurbishment, including strip-out and installation of accessible and unisex facilities, sanitaryware, cubicles, IPS systems and internal finishes. The scope also calls for coordinated mechanical, plumbing, ventilation and electrical alterations, followed by testing, commissioning, certification, making good, cleaning and complete handover documentation. A suitable contractor therefore needs to manage several building trades and deliver a fully tested, compliant finished facility within a short, defined works programme. The selected contractor was a small or medium-sized business, showing that this scale of refurbishment was delivered by an SME. The Centre used limited competition for this below-threshold project.
