Notice Title
Bathing Adaptations Rotational Framework 2026
Notice Description
North Somerset Council seeking to appoint suitably qualified providers to a Rotational Framework to deliver bathing adaptations works in support of the Disabled Facilities Grant programme. The Council assists elderly and disabled residents to remain independent in their homes through major adaptations which in the main provide access e.g. stairlifts, and bathing adaptations e.g. level access showers. The framework is due to commence on 1st April 2026 and will expire on 31st March 2030. This Framework will operate rotationally, alternating providers who receive offers of work (with a maximum of 8 providers being allocated a place on the Framework). The majority of jobs will be of a similar scope/value. Each supplier on the framework will be required to commit to delivering a minimum of 14 jobs per year. Price will be set at the framework stage (suppliers will be rotated; therefore, further competitions will not be used). Suppliers are asked to price against the Schedule of Rates. The total price submissions will be ranked in order from lowest to highest with a maximum of 8 suppliers being awarded a place on the framework. The average price will be the rate paid for those items subject to agreed minor changes for each specific job.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Options: Year on year spend over term of the framework cannot be accurately estimated to precise figures but is likely to increase year on year due to predicted increases in inflation, employee wage increases and increases in demand due to changing population demographics.
