Summary of the contracting process

Independence C I C procured building works to convert a garage into shower facilities. The work sits within a broader programme for major adaptations, extensions and conversions, but this specific requirement is the garage conversion. The procurement was categorised as works, with building extension work as its classification. Delivery locations were listed across the United Kingdom and a number of other territories and geographic areas, rather than being limited to a named town or site. The buyer was Independence C I C, based in Stafford. The requirement is relevant to contractors undertaking building alterations and conversions, particularly work adapting existing domestic or community buildings to add accessible washing facilities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to one supplier, an SME. The award date was 8 December 2023. The contract period ran from 15 April to 8 August 2024. The estimated tender value was £31,695, while the recorded awarded value is £0; these are distinct figures and the award figure does not provide a priced contract value. The tender response deadline was 8 December 2023. The procurement was run through a dynamic purchasing system, as indicated by the programme and lot title, for Lot 16 covering major adaptations, extensions and conversions. The only stated requirement was converting a garage to provide shower facilities. The process was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; no evaluation criteria are recorded in the supplied award information.

This award shows that Independence C I C has commissioned a small-scale adaptation involving conversion of an existing garage into shower facilities, within its wider major adaptations and conversions programme. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical building-conversion capability: assessing an existing space, carrying out alterations and completing shower facilities fit for their intended use. Experience delivering comparable adaptations would help demonstrate that capability, particularly where work involves changing the function of an existing building rather than constructing a new facility. The selected supplier was an SME, and the procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that this type of requirement was not confined to large contractors. Suppliers in the dynamic purchasing system route for this adaptations programme are particularly relevant to this buyer’s requirement. No specific trade accreditation or technical qualification is stated.
