Summary of the contracting process

RSPB Scotland is procuring the supply and installation of a fully equipped modular Changing Places toilet, a facility designed to support people with complex accessibility needs. It will be installed beside the existing Visitor Centre at RSPB Mersehead Reserve, Southwick, in Dumfriesshire. The requirement is for the complete facility and its installation, rather than supply alone. The work is for RSPB Scotland, an environmental protection charity, at its nature reserve. The procurement is classified as construction of prefabricated buildings (CPV 44211100).

RSPB Scotland invited tenders through an open procedure. The procurement has reached the tender stage, with offers requested electronically. The submission deadline set by the buyer was 9 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the scheduled bid opening was at 13:30 UTC that day. The contract period is 360 days. One lot covers the complete supply and installation requirement. The tender pack includes an Excel spreadsheet whose sections 4.0 and 5.0 bidders were asked to complete and return with their tender. Variants are not permitted. The available process information does not set out an evaluation basis or a contract value.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to provide an accessible Changing Places toilet as a complete, installed facility, coordinating the supply of the modular unit with installation beside an existing visitor centre at a nature reserve. Relevant capability includes delivering an appropriately equipped accessible toilet and managing installation at the specified site. Suppliers should be prepared to complete the buyer’s tender spreadsheet sections 4.0 and 5.0 and submit them with their response. The requirement centres on a single facility, making it relevant to specialist providers or building suppliers with installation capability; businesses offering only unrelated construction work or equipment without installation are less closely matched. The procurement material does not identify particular accreditations, minimum capacity thresholds or experience requirements, so the clearest fit is demonstrated capability in supplying and installing this type of facility.
