Summary of the contracting process

Torus Group procured construction works to provide adaptations for Torus customers under the Aids and Adaptations Contract for St Helens Heartland. The requirement covers physical adaptations to customers’ homes, such as building or installation work intended to improve accessibility and support independent living. Delivery is identified in the North West of England, with St Helens forming the named heartland. Torus Group is the buying organisation. The procurement is classified as construction work and falls within the works category. The customer base is Torus’s own residents, so relevant suppliers are those able to deliver adaptation projects in occupied housing and coordinate works around residents’ needs. The selected provider was St Helens Borough Council.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. St Helens Borough Council received the award on 20 March 2026 for £720,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 27 March 2026. It was a works procurement for a single requirement, covering adaptations for Torus customers in the North West. The published information identifies the contract as an Aids and Adaptations Contract for 2026–27 and records St Helens Borough Council as the active awarded supplier. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for housing adaptations in the St Helens area and shows that the requirement can be delivered by a public body with sufficient organisational capacity. A credible future competitor would need practical construction and adaptation capability, experience working in customers’ homes, and the ability to plan and complete works safely while accommodating residents’ circumstances. Suppliers should also be able to manage the full delivery chain, communicate effectively with a housing provider and support accessibility outcomes rather than treating the requirement as general building work. The procurement’s stated SME and VCSE suitability settings indicate that competing organisations should be prepared to demonstrate substantial capacity and a suitably structured service.
