## Summary

Independence C I C commissioned an external step lift and ramp on the left-hand side of a property, together with associated building works. This is an access improvement project involving ramp construction and building work, intended to improve access to the property. The procurement is classified as works and falls within access ramp construction (CPV 34953000). The listed delivery area is broad: the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is Independence C I C, based in Newton Abbot. The title places the requirement in Lot 8 of the ARMI dynamic purchasing system, covering ramps, paths, hardstanding and handrails, although the described project itself is specifically an external step lift, ramp and associated building works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Independence C I C selected a supplier identified in the process as a small or medium-sized enterprise and voluntary, community or social enterprise. The award was made on 7 July 2025. The contract period runs from 16 February to 27 May 2026. The tender’s estimated value was £36,584.79; the award is recorded with a value of £0, so no monetary award value is available to report. The process was conducted through the ARMI dynamic purchasing system, Lot 8. The submission deadline was 1 July 2025 at 5.30 pm. The procurement data does not describe the evaluation criteria, so no award basis can be stated.

This requirement demonstrates demand from Independence C I C for property access works combining an external step lift, a ramp and associated building work. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to deliver the access solution as a coordinated package, including the ramp and building works, rather than offer ramp supply alone. The buyer selected an SME and VCSE supplier, indicating that an organisation of that scale and type has delivered this work; this does not establish that these characteristics were mandatory. The ARMI Lot 8 route is relevant to suppliers specialising in ramps, paths, hardstanding and handrails. Businesses with practical experience delivering access improvements at individual properties are the closest fit to the described requirement.
