Summary of the contracting process

Independence C I C procured building work to adapt a bathroom and adjoining living space. The described work was to provide a ground-floor toilet in the kitchen-diner and divide the lounge to create a separate bedroom. This is a small-scale domestic adaptation project, within building installation work. The buyer is Independence C I C, based in Plymouth. The stated delivery location spans the United Kingdom and a range of other places, including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man; no more specific site is identified. The procurement was classified as works and formed part of the buyer’s bathroom adaptations and associated building works requirement, which included design. The scope described here is focused on changes to an existing home rather than a new build.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Independence C I C, a supplier identified as a small or medium-sized voluntary, community or social enterprise. The award date was 26 November 2024. The published award records a value of £0, while the tender estimate was £37,694.10; these are distinct figures and the award value should not be read as the estimated contract price. The contract period ran from 21 July to 16 August 2025. The tender deadline was 25 November 2024. The procurement was through Lot 2 of the ARMI dynamic purchasing system, for bathroom adaptations and associated building works including design. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable. No evaluation criteria are set out in the available procurement details.

This award shows Independence C I C’s demand for practical adaptations to an existing home: installing a ground-floor toilet in a kitchen-diner and reconfiguring a lounge to create a bedroom. Suppliers aiming to compete for comparable work for this buyer would need to deliver domestic building alterations that combine bathroom adaptation with internal layout changes. The stated requirement also encompassed design, so credible competitors should be able to address design as well as the associated building work. The scale is a discrete, short-duration property adaptation rather than a major construction project. The recorded supplier was an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, indicating that organisations of this type were suitable for the procurement. The process used a dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with that route would be relevant when seeking similar work from this buyer. No particular trade qualifications or accreditations are identified.
