                "description": "Major/Complex Adaptations - these involve structural work or other significant and/ or permanent changes to the house. Includes straight stair lifts/ permanent ramps, wet floor shower in existing bathroom (may require layout to be rearranged), additional wc or shower, structural work to facilitate equipment eg for ceiling track hoist, through floor lift and widening doorways. These works are likely to cause significant disruption to the household. Extensions for additional sanitary facilities/conversion of integral garages/loft spaces are not included. Work may require a building warrant which the contractor would have to provide. Contractors will be appointed onto a framework and individual works will be awarded by way of a mini-competition or direct award. Contractors will deliver major adaptations in all tenures. This will include providing all materials (as per any agreed specification). Pricing would be on an all-in basis using example sets of works (eg replace standard shower, standard wet room. standard ramp). The contractor will provide basic drawings as required and will liaise with other services as appropriate to ensure works meet the needs of the individual . When providing major adaptations for private sector households the contractor will enter into a contractual agreement with the individual for the payment of works. Individuals will be eligible for grant of between 80-100% of works to meet the minimum specification and support will be available in order to make this grant application and liaise with the contractor. The Council shall not be liable for any non-payment by an individual. Should the individual wish to carry out additional works over and above the minimum specification this shall be agreed between the contractor and the individual. The contractor will ensure clear governance arrangements are in place, make provision for service continuity, address issues around snagging and latent defects. Contractors will be asked to demonstrate experience of working with vulnerable households and a commitment to having a fully trained and competent team with an awareness of issues such as home safety, dementia and customer care. The contractor will work with the Council to develop a recycling programme, this may include storage of goods for reuse. Services will be delivered 52 weeks a year excluding public holidays. This may either be over a 5 or 7 day week. There will be provision for emergency and urgent response times. It is anticipated that one contractor would be appointed to carry out all the works however the lotting strategy will be reviewed based on the notes of interest for these works and consultation with various parties",
