Summary of the contracting process

Independence C I C bought a 12-month handy person scheme, with the requirement identified as carpentry works. The description says the service is priced per annum rather than per job, in line with a service specification. This is works procurement involving building installation work (CPV 45300000). Delivery locations listed include the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is Independence C I C, based in Barking. The title places the award in Lot 7(b) of the ARMI dynamic purchasing system.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. The award was made on 3 March 2026 to a supplier recorded as an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise; the award value is recorded as £0. The contract period runs from 4 March to 31 December 2026. The tender’s estimated value was £105,000, and the submission deadline was 19 December 2025. The requirement was identified as Lot 7(b), Carpentry Works. The available information does not describe the evaluation criteria or selection requirements, so no award basis can be stated. The annual-price basis, rather than payment per job, is part of the stated service arrangement.

This award shows demand from Independence C I C for a handy person scheme focused on carpentry works, priced annually rather than job by job. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, and the procurement was identified as suitable for both SMEs and VCSEs. A future competitor would need to demonstrate credible capacity to deliver carpentry and related handy person work across the stated delivery locations, and to price a service on an annual basis in line with a service specification. The award provides evidence of the type of service and supplier profile this buyer has used; it does not establish specific trade accreditations, staffing levels or technical experience requirements.
