Summary of the contracting process

Independence C I C procured installation of an external step lift at a home, enabling a disabled resident to reach the property’s facilities with assistance from a carer. The work also includes providing an alternative stepped route for people who can manage steps, with a concrete path connecting the lift to the public pavement. A planning application is required for the work. This is a building-works requirement centred on installing an access lift and adapting the approach to the property. The listed delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom and several other territories and international areas; no specific town or property address is identified.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to a supplier identified in the process as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award date was 30 August 2023. The planned contract period ran from 26 to 28 April 2024. The tender’s estimated value was £30,600, while the award record gives a value of £0; these are distinct figures in the published data. The tender response deadline was 30 August 2023 at 12 noon. This was a works procurement under an award notice for Lot 11, covering external mechanical access lifts such as step lifts. The recorded suitability indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises could participate. No evaluation basis is stated.

For suppliers serving Independence C I C, this award demonstrates demand for a complete, property-specific accessibility solution rather than lift equipment alone: installation of an external step lift, an alternative stepped route for ambulant users, and a concrete connection to the public pavement. Credible competitors would need to coordinate the lift installation with associated access works and accommodate planning-application requirements. The intended use is to help a disabled person access home facilities with carer assistance, so suppliers should be equipped to deliver practical access improvements in a residential setting. The award went to an SME, and the procurement was also marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Those supplier types therefore have direct evidence of fit for this buyer’s requirement; the recorded award does not state technical accreditations or specific experience thresholds.
