Mobile Toilet Procurement Plan

Admin October 16, 2026

The mobile toilet procurement plan should be formulated by integrating functional requirements, scenario adaptation, supplier evaluation, budget control, and compliance procedures. Specific recommendations are as follows:

I. Clarify Procurement Requirements and Scenario Adaptation

1. Functional Requirements

  • Basic Configuration: Determine the number of toilet stalls based on the usage scenario (e.g., exhibitions require ≥50 stalls), internal facilities (squat toilets, handwashing basins, door locks, flushing devices), and the supply of consumables (toilet paper, hand soap).
  • Technical Pathways:
    • Water-flush Type: Suitable for areas with water supply and drainage networks, requiring a septic tank or sewage discharge system.
    • Microbial Degradation/Foam Sealing: Ideal for areas without a drainage network or ecologically sensitive zones, enabling waste reduction and odor control, with some models supporting zero sewage discharge.
    • Freeze-proof Design: In cold regions, electric tracing and insulation layers should be adopted to prevent pipe freezing.

2. Scenario Adaptation

  • Exhibitions/Events: Prioritize modular and easy-to-assemble models. For example, the Kunming South Asia Expo requires ≥50 stalls and is equipped with sewage pumping and water replenishment services.
  • Municipal/Scenic Areas: Focus on aesthetic appeal and durability, recommending integrated mobile toilets that support customized painting.
  • Construction Sites/Temporary Locations: Choose robust, wind-resistant, and rust-proof models, such as those with thickened galvanized steel frames and fiberglass-reinforced plastic walls.

II. Supplier Selection and Evaluation

1. Qualification Review

  • Verify the supplier's business license, proof of independent civil liability capacity, and a declaration of no major illegal records.
  • Check if the supplier is listed on the "Credit China" list of dishonest individuals subject to enforcement or the record of serious illegal and dishonest conduct in government procurement.

2. Technical Strength and Case Studies

  • Prioritize manufacturers with R&D capabilities and full-process customization services, such as Dezhou Muda Machinery, which offers products with various technical pathways.
  • Refer to implemented cases, such as the procurement of Shenglonghua brand mobile toilets by Tangwang County (specifications: 8.0m×3.1m×3.12m, unit price: 170,000 yuan per set).

3. Service Capabilities

  • Confirm whether the supplier can provide full-cycle services, including installation, commissioning, sewage pumping, and water replenishment.
  • Evaluate the after-sales response speed, prioritizing suppliers with a well-established local service network.

III. Budget and Cost Control

1. Budget Preparation

  • Refer to market prices, such as the total procurement amount of 988,000 yuan for three sets in Tangwang County and the budget of 150,000 yuan for rental services at the Kunming South Asia Expo.
  • Clarify the source of funds, such as special work funds or departmental budgets.

2. Cost Optimization

  • Select technical pathways based on needs: Microbial degradation types have higher initial costs but lower long-term operation and maintenance costs.
  • Negotiate discounts for bulk purchases, such as the budget of 1,773,800 yuan for the main urban area project in Changzhi City, which may include multiple prefabricated public toilets.

IV. Procurement Process and Compliance

1. Public Bidding Process

  • Issue a procurement announcement, specifying the project number, budget amount, and bid submission deadline (e.g., the deadline for the Changzhi City project is December 4, 2024).
  • Stipulate the method for obtaining bidding documents (e.g., downloading from an online platform) and the decryption process for bid documents.

2. Evaluation and Acceptance

  • Form an evaluation expert panel to comprehensively assess suppliers based on technology, commerce, and price.
  • During acceptance, check whether the equipment specifications, quantity, and functions comply with the contract requirements, such as the acceptance criteria for the Tangwang County project, which include external dimensions and model specifications.

V. Risk Mitigation

1. Contract Terms

  • Clearly specify the delivery time, liability for breach of contract, and warranty period (e.g., the Changzhi City project requires the delivery of prefabricated materials within 30 days and completion of installation within 180 days).
  • Include confidentiality clauses to prevent suppliers from disclosing project information.

2. Quality Assurance

  • Require suppliers to provide material test reports (e.g., the thickness of galvanized steel and the corrosion resistance of fiberglass-reinforced plastic).
  • Retain a quality guarantee deposit, which will be paid after successful acceptance.
