Summary of the contracting process

Independence C I C bought door widening and bathroom adaptations, together with associated building work and design. This is a building works requirement, covering alterations to improve access to bathrooms. The procurement title identifies it as Lot 2 of the ARMI Dynamic Purchasing System. Delivery locations are listed across the United Kingdom and a range of other territories and countries. The buyer is Independence C I C, based in Plymouth. The requirement is relevant to building contractors able to carry out door widening and bathroom adaptation work, including the associated design component.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. The award was made on 7 February 2023 to the supplier identified in the process as a small and medium-sized enterprise; the award is recorded at £0, so no positive awarded contract value is stated. The contract period ran from 10 July to 17 August 2023. The tender deadline was 3 February 2023 at 17:00. This was Lot 2 of an ARMI Dynamic Purchasing System award process. The estimated procurement value was £42,336.40. The published information does not state the evaluation criteria or explain the basis on which the supplier was selected.

For firms that did not win, this award demonstrates Independence C I C’s demand for practical adaptations to homes or buildings, specifically widening doors and adapting bathrooms, with associated building work and design. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to combine building capability with the ability to design and deliver accessibility-related alterations, rather than offer general construction alone. The selected supplier was identified as an SME, indicating that this type of work was delivered by a smaller business. Contractors experienced in coordinating design with on-site adaptation works may therefore be well placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns to this buyer’s market. The award provides evidence of a discrete, short-duration package of work, rather than a large multi-year construction programme.
