Summary of the contracting process

Independence C I C procured groundworks for an external mechanical lift, covering ramps, paths and hardstanding, including handrails. This is a small construction and access-infrastructure project, classified as access ramps (CPV 34953000). The stated delivery area spans the United Kingdom and a wide range of overseas locations, including the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is Independence C I C, based in Plymouth. The requirement is focused on preparing and providing external access works associated with a mechanical lift, rather than on supplying the lift itself.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to a supplier; the award is active. The award was made on 25 October 2024. The recorded contract period ran from 23 January to 5 February 2025. The tender submission deadline was 24 October 2024 at 17:00. The estimated procurement value was £10,028.92, while the award value is recorded as £0, so no monetary award amount is available to compare with the estimate. The process was conducted through a dynamic purchasing system, under Lot 8 for ramps, paths and hardstanding, including handrails. The procurement data does not set out an evaluation basis or detailed participation requirements.

The selected supplier is recorded as an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise, and the procurement was marked suitable for both types of organisation. For comparable requirements from Independence C I C, relevant suppliers would need to deliver external access groundworks associated with mechanical lifts, including ramps, paths and hardstanding, and be capable of installing handrails. The short contract period indicates a tightly bounded delivery task, so credible providers would need to organise site works and completion efficiently. The buyer used a dynamic purchasing system and a lot specifically covering these access works; suppliers seeking similar work should be equipped to operate through that route and demonstrate practical experience in this defined scope. The award shows that this buyer procures targeted access improvements, rather than a broader lift supply or installation package.
