Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Disabled Adaptations Framework" aimed at enhancing the safety and independence of residents in properties owned by the council. This public procurement, conducted under an open procedure, involves adaptive works, repairs, and maintenance, including structural adaptations and domestic lift installations across multiple lots within the UKK11 region. The procurement has moved to the contract award phase with the contracts initiated on 4th January 2026 and scheduled to conclude by 3rd January 2029, with a possible extension until 2030 subject to council discretion. Key suppliers such as JEFF WAY ELECTRICAL SERVICES LIMITED and HUDSON PLUMBING & HEATING SERVICES LIMITED have been awarded contracts focusing on construction and building installation work.

This framework offers diverse business opportunities, especially for SMEs involved in construction, plumbing, electrical services, and lift installations. With contracts awarded across various lots, organisations can engage in substantial projects like structural modifications, adaptive facility installations, and ongoing repair works. The procurement encourages participation from businesses capable of delivering high-quality and responsive services, thus fostering potential growth and market expansion for suppliers who demonstrate comprehensive service offerings and innovative solutions tailored to meet Bristol City Council's objectives.
