## Summary

The Vale of Glamorgan Council has initiated a procurement process titled "Framework for Disabled Adaptations" under the works category, focusing on construction work. This framework aims to appoint up to four main suppliers and two reserves for disabled adaptation works, intended to aid individuals in retaining their independence at home. The council will implement an open procurement procedure, evaluating bids based on price, quality, and community benefits. The process includes a selection stage and an Invitation to Tender (ITT) phase, requiring pre-qualification questionnaires and ITT responses. The framework has a duration of two years with a potential two-year extension and operates under procurement guidelines such as CELEX 32014L0024 and is compliant with GPA standards. The framework's location is in the Vale of Glamorgan region (UKL22), with applications closing on 2nd December 2024.

This tender opportunity presents significant growth prospects for businesses in the construction industry, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in adaptive construction and home modifications. With the emphasis on assisting disabled individuals and council tenants, companies with experience in adaptive technologies, structural modifications, and housing safety improvements are likely candidates. The framework facilitates ongoing collaborations with the council through a structured, rotational supplier engagement, providing consistency and potential for future work within a public sector context. Given the open procedure, there is an opportunity for new market entrants to establish a foothold, leveraging competitive pricing, high-quality project delivery, and strong community benefit initiatives to maximise their success.

## Notice

The Council intends to appoint up to Four (4) Suppliers to the framework and up to Two (2) Suppliers as reserves. The suppliers will be offered work on a rotational basis with priority for the first Four (4) Suppliers. This Framework will operate for a period of two (2) years, with the option to extend for up to an additional two (2) years. - The Vale of Glamorgan Council requires disabled adaptation works that assist individuals to retain their independence at home. A Disabled Facilities Grant ("DFG") is available to assist eligible people to adapt their homes in the Vale of Glamorgan. It is subject to person and property eligibility which is assessed by the Council. The properties included in the Framework will be privately owned either by the DFG Applicant or their landlord or Council Tenants.

Over the last four (4) years, the Council's Agency Service has used an Adaptations Framework working with several Suppliers to deliver the adaptation works DFG Applicants require, removing the need for each individual grant to be tendered. - In addition to the above, this framework may be used by the Council's, Council Housing Adaptations Team (CHAT) to support the delivery of adaptations within its council housing stock for tenants identified as requiring support to continue living independently.
