Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Brent is currently in the planning stage for procuring a contract titled "Disabled Facilities Adaptations," falling under the construction work industry category. The aim is to re-let contracts for major and minor disability-related adaptations, enhancing accessibility and safety for disabled persons within the borough. This initiative is being carried out by Brent Council's Private Housing Services and Grants Teams. The market engagement event is scheduled, with a submission deadline on 27th February 2026, providing interested suppliers an opportunity to engage and contribute to the process. The project, valued at £2,800,000 (gross £3,360,000), will begin on 5th October 2026 and run until 4th October 2030 in the United Kingdom, region UKI72.

This tender provides an opportunity for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in public sector construction projects. Companies specialising in accessibility construction, home improvements, and disability adaptations would be well-suited to compete for this contract.
