Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council has successfully completed a procurement process for Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG) Adaptations, employing a direct award method under the Framework Agreement for the installation of disabled adaptations. This project, categorised under the "Construction work" industry (CPV code: 45000000), focuses on domestic adaptations, including ramped access, level access showers, and the design and construction of ground floor bedroom and bathroom extensions. The contract, valued at GBP 249,000, addresses needs in the North West region of the United Kingdom, and the implementation will start on 8 March 2025, concluding on 31 May 2025. The tender process ended on 3 February 2025, and the award was officially documented on 5 March 2025.

This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for SMEs, particularly those specialising in construction and disability adaptations, as evidenced by the awards given to Structec (NW) Ltd, Bentham Building & Civil Engineering Ltd, Franks Associates Limited, and Mobility Care Services Limited. These businesses are well-positioned to expand their portfolios and demonstrate their capabilities in delivering specialised construction services tailored to meet accessibility needs. The focus on SMEs and the straightforward procurement method suggest an accessible entry point for similar small and medium-sized enterprises aiming to establish or strengthen their presence in public sector contracts within the construction industry.
