This framework aims to assist elderly and disabled residents in maintaining independence by providing bathing adaptations such as level access showers. The procurement, classified under the construction industry (CPV code: 45000000), is valued at £6,240,000, and operates from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2030 throughout the UKK12 region, including Weston-super-Mare. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the award phase commenced on 20th March 2026, with the framework beginning on 2nd April 2026. This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in construction and plumbing, especially small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). With a rotating framework where suppliers commit to at least 14 jobs annually, successful bidders can expect a steady flow of work without the need for further competition. The framework will accommodate up to eight providers, promoting diverse participation while fostering business growth within the construction sector. Companies aiming for growth can leverage this opportunity to expand their portfolio by offering competitive pricing against a pre-set schedule of rates, ultimately enhancing their market presence in public sector contracts. ## Notice Bathing Adaptations Rotational Framework to deliver bathing adaptations works in support of the Disabled Facilities Grant programme. The Council assists elderly and disabled residents to remain independent in their homes through major adaptations which in the main provide access e.g. stairlifts, and bathing adaptations e.g. level access showers. The framework is due to commence on 1st April 2026 and will expire on 31st March 2030. This Framework will operate rotationally, alternating providers who receive offers of work (with a maximum of 8 providers being allocated a place on the Framework). The majority of jobs will be of a similar scope/value. Each supplier on the framework will be required to commit to delivering a minimum of 14 jobs per year. Price will be set at the framework stage (suppliers will be rotated; therefore, further competitions will not be used). Suppliers are asked to price against the Schedule of Rates. The total price submissions will be ranked in order from lowest to highest with a maximum of 8 suppliers being awarded a place on the framework. The average price will be the rate paid for those items subject to agreed minor changes for each specific job. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: Year on year spend over term of the framework cannot be accurately estimated to precise figures but is likely to increase year on year due to predicted increases in inflation, employee wage increases and increases in demand due to changing population demographics. ### Planning Information Suppliers wishing to participate in this market engagement exercise should select "Express an Interest" button on DN786439 Invitation to Participate in Market Engagement: Bathing Adaptations Framework 2025 on Supplying the South West portal and complete the attached Market Engagement Questionnaire, and return it via the messaging section of this portal by Monday, 1st September 2025, no later than 17:00hrs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025606-2026 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 9 Jan 2026 | | Future notice date | 1 Nov 2025 | | Award date | 20 Mar 2026 | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2026 - 1 Apr 2030 | | Recurrence | 2029-12-01 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,000,000 | | Lots value | £6,240,000 | | Awards value | £6,240,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Pending | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH SOMERSET COUNCIL | | Locality | WESTON-SUPER-MARE, NORTH SOMERSET | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS23 1UJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK61 North Somerset | | Local authority | North Somerset | | Electoral ward | Weston-super-Mare Central | | Westminster constituency | Weston-super-Mare | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England), TLK12 Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 7 | | Supplier names | ASHCROFT SERVICES; BRUNEL ELECTRICAL; D R JONES YEOVIL; HYDRA PLUMBING SERVICES; JOHN WEST (CONTRACTORS; SNAPE CONTRACTING SERVICES; WESTSIDE CONTRACTING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 20 Mar 2026 at 10:25 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025606-2026 - 2 Dec 2025 at 14:46 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/078988-2025 - 1 Dec 2025 at 17:43 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/078669-2025 - 11 Aug 2025 at 16:01 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047776-2025 - 4 Jun 2025 at 15:38 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030022-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025606-2026 20th March 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/078988-2025 2nd December 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/078669-2025 1st December 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047776-2025 11th August 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030022-2025 4th June 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.ashcroftservices.co.uk - http://www.brunelelectricalbristol.co.uk - http://www.hydraplumb.co.uk - http://www.johnwestcontractors.co.uk - http://www.jonesbuildinggroup.co.uk - http://www.snapecontracting.co.uk - http://www.westsidecontracting.co.uk - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=cb219f26-d7ce-f011-813a-005056b64545&p=696a9836-1895-e511-8105-000c29c9ba21 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
