## Summary

The Broads Authority, a sub-central government public authority, successfully awarded a contract for the refurbishment of toilet and shower facilities at Acle Bridge and Great Yarmouth Yacht Station. This procurement process, classified under plumbing and sanitary works, was conducted using an open, below-threshold competition method. The tender phase concluded on 17 December 2025, with the award announced on 18 December 2025. The contract is set to commence on 5 January 2026 and conclude by 28 March 2026, focusing on modernising public amenities and enhancing accessibility in the UKH region of the United Kingdom. The project has been completed, with Focus Washrooms Ltd, a UK-based SME, selected as the supplier.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, plumbing, and sanitary work sectors to showcase their expertise in public infrastructure refurbishment. Businesses capable of delivering durable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance solutions would benefit from participating in similar tenders. The emphasis on SME suitability indicates a preference for smaller enterprises, offering them a platform to expand their portfolio and engage in public sector contracts. Companies with prior experience in modernising public facilities, especially those integrating sustainable and efficient technologies, are well-positioned to thrive in this contracting environment.
