Summary of the contracting process

RSPB Scotland is buying a fully equipped modular Changing Places public toilet, including its supply and installation. The facility is intended to sit beside the existing Visitor Centre at RSPB Mersehead Reserve, near Southwick in Dumfriesshire. This is a goods procurement covering the modular toilet unit and the work needed to install it at the reserve. The stated purpose is to provide accessible changing and toilet facilities for visitors. Suppliers should be able to deliver a complete facility to this visitor destination and carry out installation on site. The procurement is managed by RSPB Scotland, an environmental charity. The location is identified as RSPB Mersehead Reserve, Southwick, Dumfriesshire.

RSPB Scotland invited tenders through an open procedure, with bids to be submitted electronically. The submission deadline set by the buyer was 9 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bid opening was scheduled for 13:30 UTC that day. The contract period is 360 days. The tender is divided into one lot covering the supply and installation of the Changing Places facility, and variants are not permitted. Bids must be in English and remain valid until 7 May 2027. The notice gives no estimated contract value. The award basis and evaluation criteria are not stated in the procurement information provided. The tender pack requires bidders to complete and return sections 4.0 and 5.0 of the accompanying spreadsheet with their tender response. Site visits are to be arranged in advance.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to provide modular public toilet buildings designed and equipped as Changing Places facilities, together with the practical capability to install them at a visitor site. A supplier with experience delivering accessible facilities for public use may be well placed, particularly if it can manage the unit, delivery and installation as a complete package. The work is a single-site requirement at an RSPB nature reserve, so bidders should be able to plan installation beside an existing visitor centre and coordinate any site visit in advance. The tender requires completion of specified sections in the supplied spreadsheet and an electronic tender response. No particular accreditation, technical standard, staffing level or prior project credential is described in the procurement information.
