The procurement, classified under building installation work, is currently in the tender stage, with bids due by 25 August 2020. The project includes various enhancements for accessibility and safety, such as ramps, level access showers, and heating installations, with a total contract value estimated at £1.5 million. This open procurement process is organised into six lots and is designed to ensure high-quality workmanship and customer care. This procurement opportunity supports the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focused on construction and home improvement services. Businesses with expertise in building installation, electrical work, plumbing, and assessment services would be well-positioned to compete effectively. Engaging in this framework could lead to long-term partnerships with the Council, especially for contractors who can demonstrate a commitment to delivering value for money and innovative adaptations for clients with mobility challenges. ## Notice Bedford Borough Council is looking for a number of suitably-experienced contractors with whom it can work over the next 2 to 4 years to deliver home adaptation works to clients under the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) programme to a high standard of workmanship and customer care and offering value for money, and to work proactively with the Council's Home Improvement Agency (HIA) to develop and enhance the service to clients.
