Summary of the contracting process

Teignbridge District Council procured access improvements involving a stairlift, a low-threshold door and associated building works. The works included ramps, paths and hardstanding, with handrails included in the requirement. The specific building work was to be agreed during a joint site visit. This is a construction and access-improvement requirement, suited to suppliers able to install mobility-access equipment and carry out related building works. The tender lists delivery across the United Kingdom and several other territories, including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man; it does not identify a specific site or town. The requirement was procured through the council’s Access to Resources for Mobility and Independence dynamic purchasing system, Lot 8.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Independence C I C was awarded the contract on 25 June 2025. The award record gives a value of £0, while the tender estimate was £33,172.45; these are distinct published figures. The contract period runs from 20 October 2025 to 4 March 2026. The submission deadline was 24 June 2025 at 5pm. This was a works procurement under a dynamic purchasing system. The requirement was described as a Lot 8 award for ramps, paths and hardstanding, including handrails. The process data does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions. The work details, including the stairlift, low-threshold door and associated building works, were to be settled at a joint site visit.

This award shows demand from Teignbridge District Council for practical accessibility upgrades combining mobility equipment with building work. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to deliver stairlift installation, low-threshold door adaptations and associated construction, as well as ramps, paths, hardstanding and handrails. The work calls for the ability to assess site conditions with the council and agree the building work needed for each installation. Suppliers with experience coordinating access equipment and building adaptations would be well placed to meet this combined requirement. The procurement was through a dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with competing for work through that route would also be relevant. The published award identifies a small and community-interest supplier, and the tender indicated suitability for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
