What is being bought

Published requirement description

Refurbishment of the existing toilets on the upper promenade, which are currently in disrepair / poor condition, and construction of a new toilet block on the lower promenade.

The existing toilets to be refurbished are located in Broadstairs Kent CT10 1DU, they are near the top of a staircase located approximately 2.5m below cliff top level.

Stone Bay, Broadstairs, has been selected as the highest priority for capital funding due to the number of visitors to this bay, the condition of the existing facilities, and the location of the existing facilities, which are up a flight of steps, causing accessibility issues for those at the bay.

The decision to undertake this project has been approved by Cabinet and the proposed specification which is being tendered has gained planning permission.

The Contract is anticipated to commence upon August 2026 for a duration of 6 Months (to be agreed on completion of legal agreement, with a contract period of 6 months from the date agreed).

Important Information: All procurement documents are attached to this notice and available for suppliers to download and complete according to instructions contained.

The procurement process will be undertaken on the basis of formal quotations. Evaluation will be on the basis of criteria and methodology as set out in the Invitation to Tender document.

Any clarifications or questions must be submitted via the Message area of the Kent Business Portal by no later than 14.00hrs on 23 June 2026.

Completed tender documents must be submitted electronically via the Kent Business Portal by no later than 14.00hrs on 3 July 2026.
