Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is initiated by Guildford Borough Council for the project titled "Aids and Adaptations to Guildford Borough Council Properties". This falls under the construction work industry category, with specific classifications in support equipment, construction, and building installation work. The location for this tender is Guildford, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, and interested parties must submit their proposals by 16th February 2026, following the completion of the enquiry period on 9th February 2026. The procurement method is an open competition, aimed at contracting specialists in the modification and adaptation of public and potentially private dwellings within the Borough for an initial three-year term, starting from 1st June 2026, with possible extensions. The total contract value is capped at GBP 3,000,000, with a main focus on quality, price, and social value in the award criteria.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for companies proficient in property adaptations and modifications, such as those providing home mobility solutions, construction works, and building installations. Firms experienced in surveying and adaptation works are especially well-suited to compete, as the scope involves home modifications, external access alterations, and potential space extensions. Engaging up to four contractors, this initiative requires entities capable of operating across varied property types throughout the Guildford area, promising substantial opportunities in the planned duration. Successful contractors will benefit from engaging with the Guildford Borough Council in executing publicly funded infrastructure enhancements.

Guildford Borough Council ("the Contracting Authority" or "GBC") owns approximately 5,300 dwellings comprising a mixture of houses, low/medium rise flats, and sheltered housing schemes located across the Borough. In addition to this, adaptation works could be required to private properties within the Borough. An area map of the Borough is included in the tender pack. Note: Not all the Council's dwellings will require adaptations works as part of this contract opportunity. The Council is seeking to enter into multiple contracts for an initial period of 3 years, with an option to extend for further 2 years in 2 x 12-month increments. The anticipated commencement date is 1st June 2026. The successful Contractors will be able to cover the whole of the borough area. The contractors will be selected to work in all areas as directed by GBC. This scope of this tender will include, but is not limited to: * Home Modifications: Install features like level access showers, wash/dry toilets, or stair lifts to enhance mobility within the home. * External Access: The creation of ramps or level paths to provide easier access to the home or garden. * Space Extensions: Possibly extending the property to create more accessible space or adding a modular building for additional rooms. The Council envisages engaging with up to 4 suitably qualified organisations capable of undertaking Surveys & Adaptations works in the property types mentioned above. Determining the successful tenderers is set out within the Evaluation section of this ITT. The successful contractors will operate across the whole Borough area on a rotation basis. This procurement exercise is a reiteration of the tender (GBC - 038762) that was abandoned in December 2025.
