Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council, a public authority based in Weston-super-Mare, has successfully completed the public procurement process for the Bathing Adaptations Rotational Framework 2026. This procurement was undertaken through an open procedure and is intended to support the Disabled Facilities Grant programme, which aims to assist elderly and disabled residents in maintaining independence in their homes. The framework, valued at £6,240,000 GBP, spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2030 and involves construction work, primarily bathing adaptations and stairlifts, across the UKK12 region. The award date was 3rd August 2026, and a maximum of eight suitably qualified suppliers were selected without reopening the competition, following an evaluation based on a schedule of rates.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in construction and home adaptations. With a consistent flow of work, requiring the completion of at least 14 jobs annually per supplier, businesses have the potential to achieve stable growth and expand their service offerings. Optimal candidates for this framework are those who have expertise in providing access solutions such as stairlifts or bathroom modifications and who can adapt to a rotating work allocation system that prioritizes fair distribution of projects. Additionally, the absence of further competitive bidding within the framework period ensures a secure pipeline of work for the successful bidders.

Notice Title

Bathing Adaptations Rotational Framework 2026

Notice Description

North Somerset Council sought 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 were asked to price against the Schedule of Rates. The total price submissions were 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. .

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.

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 were asked to price against the Schedule of Rates. The total price submissions were 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. .",

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 were asked to price against the Schedule of Rates. The total price submissions were 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. ."
