## Summary

The Forestry Commission is buying the design and construction of a new public toilet block at Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk. The works cover detailed design, groundworks, utility connections, manufacture, delivery, installation, testing, commissioning and handover. The facility is to include an accessible toilet with baby-changing and stoma-friendly facilities, four ambulatory unisex cubicles and a urinal room, together with external works and mechanical and electrical services. The contractor will take responsibility as both Principal Designer and Principal Contractor and deliver a fully operational facility. This is a public conveniences construction project, with modular building work also included (CPV 45215500).

The Forestry Commission invited offers through an open competition. The procurement has reached the tender stage. The deadline for enquiries was 23 October 2026 at 16:00, and bids were due by 2 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 17 March 2027, with the facility required to be operational by March 2027. The estimated value is £130,000 excluding VAT (£156,000 including VAT). There is one lot, and small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable. Evaluation is weighted 45% on price and 55% on quality: design (20%), resources and capacity (15%), sustainability and net zero (10%), and programme and delivery risks (10%).

This suits building contractors able to manage an end-to-end public toilet project, including design, site preparation, utility connections, construction or manufacture, installation, testing and commissioning. The appointed contractor must be able to act as Principal Designer and Principal Contractor and coordinate the associated external, mechanical and electrical works through to handover. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate a credible design and delivery team, sufficient resources and capacity, and a programme that addresses delivery risks. The quality assessment also rewards a strong approach to sustainability and net zero, alongside design quality. The single-lot opportunity is explicitly considered suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to capable smaller contractors as well as larger construction firms, including those able to bring in specialist partners for utilities, modular construction or building services. The requirement combines a compact public facility with several accessibility and user-facility features.
