The work also includes providing an alternative stepped route for people who can manage steps, with a concrete path connecting the lift to the public pavement. A planning application is required for the work. This is a building-works requirement centred on installing an access lift and adapting the approach to the property. The listed delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom and several other territories and international areas; no specific town or property address is identified. The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to a supplier identified in the process as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award date was 30 August 2023. The planned contract period ran from 26 to 28 April 2024. The tender’s estimated value was £30,600, while the award record gives a value of £0; these are distinct figures in the published data. The tender response deadline was 30 August 2023 at 12 noon. This was a works procurement under an award notice for Lot 11, covering external mechanical access lifts such as step lifts. The recorded suitability indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises could participate. No evaluation basis is stated. For suppliers serving Independence C I C, this award demonstrates demand for a complete, property-specific accessibility solution rather than lift equipment alone: installation of an external step lift, an alternative stepped route for ambulant users, and a concrete connection to the public pavement. Credible competitors would need to coordinate the lift installation with associated access works and accommodate planning-application requirements. The intended use is to help a disabled person access home facilities with carer assistance, so suppliers should be equipped to deliver practical access improvements in a residential setting. The award went to an SME, and the procurement was also marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Those supplier types therefore have direct evidence of fit for this buyer’s requirement; the recorded award does not state technical accreditations or specific experience thresholds. ## Notice To Install step lift to front of property to enable the disabled person to access property facilities with carer assistance. Also, alternate stepped access for ambulant users (Concrete path will be needed from the step lift to the public pavement) Planning application will be required for this work. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/33814e7c-9f8f-4fa4-8632-f53e7ac9be17 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Aug 2023 | | Contract period | 26 Apr 2024 - 28 Apr 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,600 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Independence C I C | | Locality | ILFORD | | Postcode area | Ilford | | Postcode | IG1 1NN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI5 Outer London - East and North East | | ITL 3 | TLI53 Redbridge and Waltham Forest | | Local authority | Redbridge | | Electoral ward | Ilford Town | | Westminster constituency | Ilford South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42416100 - Lifts ## Release History - 8 Oct 2026 at 15:32 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/33814e7c-9f8f-4fa4-8632-f53e7ac9be17 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/33814e7c-9f8f-4fa4-8632-f53e7ac9be17 8th October 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
