## Summary

The Vale of Glamorgan Council has completed the award of its "Framework for Disabled Adaptations" tender, an initiative to provide disabled adaptation works ensuring individuals maintain independence at home. The Council, a regional or local authority based in BARRY, UKL22, has collaborated with several small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to fulfil the procurement needs across a two-year contract, beginning 16th April 2025, valued at £7,270,104 GBP with the option to extend. The framework uses an open procurement procedure, targeting the works category, and involves works such as modifying access points, installing specialist equipment, and supporting the Vale of Glamorgan's approximately 4,000 council-owned properties. Notably, the procurement followed an open procedure with prior award notice issued on 20th October 2025.

This successful framework offers abundant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and adaptation services. The open procurement model ensures a competitive landscape where SMEs like 2D BUILDING CONTRACTORS LTD, PHYSICAL ADAPTATION SOLUTIONS LIMITED, and R & M WILLIAMS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED have successfully secured awards. By offering work on a rotation basis to the appointed suppliers, businesses can leverage the opportunity to ensure a steady workflow, contributing to sector growth. The framework supports diverse adaptation requirements, making it ideal for contractors with expertise in specialised installations, structural alterations, or community-beneficial innovations. Through initiatives like these, SMEs gain entryways into public sector procurement, driving regional development and business expansion within the community.

## 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.
