This tender is currently in the active stage, following its publication on 17th May 2017. The procurement method is via an open procedure, with a total estimated value of £800,000. The tender period ends on 29th June 2017, and the successful contracts will commence from 17th July 2017, lasting until 16th July 2019. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and bathroom adaptations, particularly those focused on serving the needs of disabled individuals. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the framework is designed to increase access to work for these types of organisations. As Northumberland County Council seeks to enhance accessibility within its housing stock, contractors with experience in level access installations will find a supportive avenue to grow their service offerings and gain sustainable contracts in the region. ## Notice Northumberland County Council is setting up a Framework to Design, Supply and Install Level Access Showers / bathroom adaptations. The Home Improvement Service (HIS) manages the delivery of Disabled Facility Grants (DFG) across the whole county of Northumberland. The DFG provides support to adapt an individual's property to improve access to bathing, allow access around the property and also access in and out of the property and provision of suitable heating. With reference to the current Published Tender for 'The Design, Supply & Installation of Level Access Showers". It is anticipated that there could be an increase of work and payment methods used through the life time of this Framework. The Council has its own housing stock of 8500 properties and has funding to carry out disabled adaptations. These adaptations include the provision of level access showers for tenants who are unable to currently use the bath in their own home. Over the previous 4 years 100 level access showers have been installed annually and these are funded directly by the Councils capital programme. The council is considering using this framework to deliver these adaptations". For clarification, this Framework remains unchanged however, this notification is to inform you that there could be an increase in work and that funding could also be directly from the Council as well as from the DFG Funding grant. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afdde628-dce4-4c2f-b210-0a312331de07 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jun 2017 | | Submission deadline | 29 Jun 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Jul 2017 - 16 Jul 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £800,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MORPETH | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE61 2EF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC42 Northumberland | | Local authority | Northumberland | | Electoral ward | Morpeth Kirkhill | | Westminster constituency | North Northumberland | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 8 Jun 2017 at 13:24 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afdde628-dce4-4c2f-b210-0a312331de07 - 17 May 2017 at 10:36 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afdde628-dce4-4c2f-b210-0a312331de07 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afdde628-dce4-4c2f-b210-0a312331de07 8th June 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.northumberland.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
