The procurement is in the planning stage, with a deadline for expressing interest set for 5pm on 20th July 2017. This tender will engage contractors and providers through consultation events, with the primary engagement scheduled for the week beginning 13th August 2018 in Forfar. This initiative caters to various adaptation needs in the local community. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, housing adaptations, social care, and related services. Companies with expertise in delivering both minor and complex adaptations, such as grab rails, stair lifts, and project management for private sector support, will be particularly well-positioned to compete. The council’s intent to directly involve contractors in shaping the service delivery models also provides a unique avenue for businesses to demonstrate their commitment to community engagement and their ability to support vulnerable populations. ## Notice Please refer to 'Additional Information' ### Lot Information Moderate Adaptations Moderate Adaptations - these works require greater technical expertise than minor adaptations but the role for the service provider is similar.
