In general bathrooms do not need a receptacle however if one is installed then it needs to be gfci protected. I believe if this is a standard bathroom then no gfci is needed

210.8(B) Covers GFCI protection for non dwelling units -

Bathrooms is the number one item on the list.

Art 100 definition of a bathroom:

An area including a basin with one or more of the following: a toilet, a urinal, a tub, a shower, a bidet, or similar plumbing fixtures.

A toilet and a basin in the same area is a bathroom.

210 Part III doesn't require receptacles in a non dwelling bathroom, but GFCI protection is still required if you put any in.
