Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured the design, manufacture and installation of modular ramps and associated access works for Disabled Facilities Grant adaptations. The requirement supports privately owned, housing association and privately rented properties in Barnsley, helping disabled residents achieve level access to and from their homes. Referrals are made by the Occupational Therapy Team following assessment of an individual’s current and long-term access needs. The work includes modular ramped access, low-threshold doors and other associated works. It is primarily a works requirement, with a goods element, covering access ramps and construction work. Delivery is across the Barnsley area. The council’s Disabled Facilities Grant Team manages the requirement, which is intended to support approximately 30 modular ramp access installations each year.

This below-threshold procurement used an open competition. The tender reached completion and the contract was awarded to Easibathe Ltd. The award was made on 28 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 8 September 2026 to 7 September 2027, with two possible 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum period to 7 September 2029. Its value is £300,000 including VAT; the tender estimate was £300,000 excluding VAT, or £360,000 including VAT. There was one lot, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Selection required a pass/fail procurement-specific questionnaire. Evaluation weighted quality at 50%, price at 45% and social value at 5%. Electronic submission was permitted.

This award indicates recurring demand from Barnsley Council for suppliers able to design, manufacture and install modular ramp systems in domestic properties. A credible competitor would need to manage the complete service, from producing suitable access solutions through to installation and associated building works, including low-threshold door adaptations where required. The requirement favours businesses able to respond to medically assessed individual access needs and coordinate delivery through the council’s Disabled Facilities Grant and Occupational Therapy processes. Experience of modular ramps, construction work and access adaptations would be directly relevant. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist supplier with the capacity to deliver a regular programme of household installations and demonstrate quality and social value could be well placed when this requirement is next tested.
