Summary of the contracting process

Independence C I C procured building works to adapt a home for a wheelchair user. The project involved creating a bedroom from an existing dining room and extending the property from the dining room to provide a bathroom with level-access shower, toilet and wash-hand basin. It also included wheelchair access and a ramp. The work was for a property in Bury, where the buyer is based. The procurement was classified as building extension work (CPV 45262800), although the practical scope also included internal adaptation and accessible bathroom facilities.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to a supplier identified as a small and medium-sized enterprise and voluntary, community or social enterprise. The award date was 29 October 2025. The estimated procurement value was between £44,181.59 and £53,017.91, while the recorded award value is £0, so the award value does not establish the price paid. The contract period runs from 5 January to 15 July 2026. The tender deadline was 20 October 2025. This was a lot within the ARMI dynamic purchasing system for major adaptations, extensions and conversions. The tender was marked suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award demonstrates Independence C I C’s demand for substantial, tailored home adaptations that improve wheelchair access. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver building alterations alongside accessible bathroom installation, including level-access showers, toilets and wash-hand basins, and provide ramps and wheelchair access. The scope calls for the ability to reconfigure existing rooms and build an extension while integrating the adaptation into a home. The successful supplier was identified as an SME and VCSE, showing that the work was delivered by an organisation of that type; it does not establish that a particular accreditation or specialist qualification was required. Suppliers with relevant residential adaptation experience and the capacity to coordinate building and accessibility works would be well placed to address this buyer’s requirement when it next arises.
