Summary of the contracting process

Independence C I C bought minor building works to create a safe play area in a rear garden. The work included installing fencing and safety playground rubber flooring, as well as fitting a perspex case to protect a television in the living room. The procurement is classified as building installation work (CPV 45300000). Independence C I C is based in Hereford. The listed delivery locations span the United Kingdom and a range of international locations, but the work description itself identifies a rear garden and living room without naming a specific site. The requirement combines outdoor play-area improvements with a small indoor protective fitting, rather than a broader construction project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to a selected supplier, a small and medium-sized enterprise. The award date was 23 January 2026. The stated contract period runs from 13 to 22 April 2026. The tender’s estimated value was £43,074, while the award value is recorded as £0; these are distinct figures in the procurement information. The tender submission deadline was 22 January 2026. It was run through Lot 7 of the ARMI Dynamic Purchasing System for minor building works. The process is recorded as complete, but no evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are set out in the available procurement details. The award is active.

For firms competing for this buyer’s future minor building work, the requirement shows demand for practical, small-scale property improvements that combine external safety work with a simple indoor installation. Relevant capability includes fitting secure fencing, installing safety playground rubber surfacing and protecting household fixtures or equipment with a made-to-measure perspex cover. A credible supplier would need to coordinate these different tasks and deliver a safe, usable finish across both garden and living-space settings. The selected supplier was recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller contractor was suitable for this individual requirement; the work’s mix of trades and contained scope may also be relevant to firms that can manage such jobs efficiently. The buyer used its ARMI system’s minor-building-works route.
