Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned a home minor adaptations service: low-level, non-structural changes intended to improve accessibility, reduce risks, support mobility and help people carry out daily activities in their homes. The service covers the full process, from managing referrals and scheduling appointments through supplying materials and installing adaptations, to communicating with residents, reporting completed work, maintaining records and reporting contract performance. The work is in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. It combines building installation and fitting work with the coordination and administration needed to deliver adaptations to individual residents. The council’s aim is to help service users remain independent in their own homes through timely, suitable adaptations.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to 24/7 Locks Secure Horizon Ltd. The award was made on 29 September 2026, and the contract was signed on 14 October 2026. The contract value is £920,000 excluding VAT (£1,104,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2028, with an option to extend for up to a further two years, to 18 October 2030. This was a below-threshold open competition. One lot covered the service, and 11 bids were received. The award was based on quality (50%), price (45%) and social value (5%). Suppliers had to pass all minimum requirements in part 4 of the tender documents to be considered further.

For suppliers considering similar council work, this award shows demand for a joined-up minor adaptations service rather than installation alone. Credible providers need to manage referrals and appointments, communicate reliably with residents, source materials, install a range of adaptations, keep accurate records and report performance. The contract’s targets indicate the importance of delivering urgent work rapidly, completing standard and bespoke adaptations to defined timescales, and maintaining strong customer satisfaction and complaint handling. Suppliers also need enough trained staff to provide consistent coverage and installers with CHAS accreditation or equivalent health and safety accreditation. The evaluation placed the greatest weight on service quality, while also assessing price and social value, so a competitive offer needs evidence of dependable delivery and meaningful local benefit as well as cost control. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
