Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council commissioned construction work to adapt a resident’s home, converting a spare room into a level-access shower and carrying out associated works. The property is in Upper Shelton, Bedfordshire. This is a bespoke home adaptation delivered through the council’s Disabled Facilities Grant framework, under its bespoke works lot. The requirement is focused on making a specific home more accessible, rather than a larger housing construction programme.

The procurement is complete and Crestel Home Access Ltd was selected for the work. The award was made on 21 October 2026, for £12,770. The contract period runs from 16 November to 7 December 2026. The council ran a further competition through its Disabled Facilities Grant framework, with the requirement classified as construction works. The submission deadline for the competition was 1 May 2026. The published details identify the work and successful supplier but do not set out the evaluation criteria or how bids were scored.

This award shows Central Bedfordshire Council’s demand for small-scale, bespoke home adaptations delivered through its Disabled Facilities Grant framework. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar work should be able to convert existing rooms into accessible facilities, including level-access showers, and complete the associated building work in an occupied resident’s home. Credibility will depend on delivering tailored construction safely and to the practical requirements of individual properties, rather than offering general building capacity alone. The route used here was a further competition under the framework’s bespoke works lot, so experience of responding to framework competitions and undertaking domestic adaptations would be relevant. The selected contractor demonstrates that the council awards this type of focused work to a specialist home-access supplier.
