## Summary

Dumfries and Galloway Council is planning a procurement process titled "The Provision of Minor Adaptation", aimed at contractors for minor adaptations in private and privately rented homes. This project falls under the 'works' category within the General Public Services industry. Key activities include the delivery and fitting of grabrails, minor internal modifications, and bespoke handrails. The anticipated contract value is £708,000, with a future notice date set for 1st August 2021. This initiative targets properties in the Dumfries and Galloway region, with an emphasis on providing timely services to promote independence and safety for residents.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, home adaptations, and assistive technology to expand their services. Companies experienced in installing non-structural modifications and adaptable living solutions will be well-positioned to compete. The procurement not only supports community welfare but also invites local suppliers to engage, potentially leading to long-term partnerships with the Dumfries and Galloway Council in improving residents' living standards.

## Notice

Dumfries and Galloway Council are seeking to procure contractors to carry out minor adaptations to people living in private or privately rented homes in a timely manner to promote independence and prevent accidents, prevent admission to hospital or care, enable safe discharge from hospital or care settings, and to support unpaid carers and paid carers.
