DFG Adaptation Works

Notice Description

Background The district of Breckland spans 500 square miles of beautiful countryside within Norfolk. The district is centred around the five market towns of Dereham, Attleborough, Swaffham, Thetford, and Watton. Half of the current residents live in one of the market towns with the remainder living in rural village homes. This means that the district has a low population density. The area's rural nature is characterised by its 112 parishes and numerous villages. We are re-procuring our Framework for Home Adaptations delivered through Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG) and are seeking engagement with suitable and qualified contractors who can deliver Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs) efficiently and promptly. DFG is available to those with disabilities to provide funding for home adaptations. Typical adaptations include replacing a bath with a level access shower, bathroom reconfigurations, door widening, ramps and access into and out of the house. The primary goal of this grant is to facilitate changes that allow recipients to continue living independently in their own homes. The DFG work we are potentially offering through a future procurement opportunity would be primarily in owner occupied homes in locations in any town or village in Breckland. Breckland District Council is issuing this Pre Market Engagement Notice to receive expressions of interest for engagement and feedback from the market to establish potential interest around delivery of the DFG Adaptation works which will support and inform the procurement process. The framework will be divided into the following lots: Lot 1: General construction Lot 2: Bathrooms and kitchens Lot 3: Doors and Windows Lot 4: Ramps Indicative Scenarios: Areas of Work We Carry Out: * Replace a bath with a shower * Install ramps for accessibility * Replace doors and windows * Widen doorways * Adapt rooms to suit clients' needs * Install stairlifts * Build suitable rooms or extensions to meet clients' requirements * Conduct groundwork, including hard standing and drop curbs * Perform pre-preparation work for ramps * Adapt kitchens to meet clients' needs * Supply and install wash-dry toilets and baths * Upgrade electrical systems as needed (e.g., fuse boards) * Organise and carry out an asbestos survey with a comprehensive report * Address all domestic requirements and drainage issues
