Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council commissioned bathroom adaptation works at four residential properties in the Dunstable area. The work provides accessible wet rooms and level-access showers, with associated plumbing, sanitaryware, minor alterations and making good. Its purpose is to improve accessibility, safety and suitability for residents’ individual needs. This is residential adaptation and building work for a local authority, focused on bathroom access rather than general property refurbishment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Crestel Home Access Ltd. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and runs from 19 October to 30 November 2026. Its value is £29,560.71 excluding VAT, or £35,472.85 including VAT. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The process was arranged as one lot. No evaluation basis is stated in the available procurement details.

This award demonstrates demand from Central Bedfordshire Council for accessible bathroom adaptations in residential properties. A credible supplier for similar work would need to deliver wet-room and level-access shower installations, including plumbing, sanitaryware, minor building alterations and making good. The requirement also calls for work in occupied or resident-focused housing to be shaped around individual accessibility and safety needs. Crestel Home Access Ltd, identified as an SME, was selected for this contract, showing that a smaller specialist supplier competed successfully through the council’s limited-competition route.
