Summary of the contracting process

Independence C I C procured works to provide hardstanding and a ramp, under a requirement titled “Ramps, Paths and Hardstanding including Handrails”. The work is categorised as access-ramp construction. The listed delivery locations span the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and elsewhere worldwide. The buyer is Independence C I C, based in Plymouth. This requirement concerns the construction or provision of ramps and associated hardstanding and paths, including handrails; the description identifies hardstanding and a ramp as the work. It is relevant to contractors undertaking access-related construction and external hard landscaping, particularly where they can deliver ramp and handrail installations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to a supplier, whose recorded name is not available in the award information. The award was made on 25 May 2022. The estimated tender value was £40,420.48; the recorded award value is £0, so the award amount should not be treated as a confirmed contract price. The contract period ran from 31 October to 9 December 2022. The process was run through the ARMI dynamic purchasing system, Lot 8, for ramps, paths and hardstanding including handrails. The procurement was classified as works, and the tender closed on 17 May 2022. The data does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as suitable to participate.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future access works, the award demonstrates demand for ramp, path and hardstanding construction that may include handrails. A credible competitor would need practical capability in building access ramps and preparing durable external hard surfaces, together with the ability to install handrails where required. The delivery locations listed are geographically broad, so suppliers should be able to assess whether they can serve the relevant location when a comparable requirement arises. The buyer marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that this scale and type of work was not limited to large firms. The procurement used a dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with that route would be relevant to suppliers seeking to compete for similar work from Independence C I C.
