The contract, valued at GBP 249,000, addresses needs in the North West region of the United Kingdom, and the implementation will start on 8 March 2025, concluding on 31 May 2025. The tender process ended on 3 February 2025, and the award was officially documented on 5 March 2025.

This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for SMEs, particularly those specialising in construction and disability adaptations, as evidenced by the awards given to Structec (NW) Ltd, Bentham Building & Civil Engineering Ltd, Franks Associates Limited, and Mobility Care Services Limited. These businesses are well-positioned to expand their portfolios and demonstrate their capabilities in delivering specialised construction services tailored to meet accessibility needs.
