## Summary

North Ayrshire Council has completed an open procurement process for the "Provision of Equality Act Compliant Ramps to Residential Properties, North Ayrshire." The project falls under the industry category of general public services and involves the design, supply, and installation of modular, recyclable steel ramps to residential properties throughout North Ayrshire. This tender, following the open procedure method, began on 23 April 2024 and has now concluded with the contract being awarded on 2 August 2024. The project aims to meet requirements under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 and the Equality Act 2010, providing adaptations to support residents who need additional aid to remain in their homes rather than in care facilities.

The contract, valued at £700,000, has been awarded to William P Whiland & Son Ltd. This project presents significant business growth opportunities for contractors specialising in construction and installation services, particularly those adept at producing modular and sustainable products. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will find this tender particularly relevant, as the process utilised an open procedure inviting bids from multiple suppliers, including four bids, all from SMEs. Businesses with expertise in construction, accessibility features, and residential modifications are well-suited to compete in such tenders, especially given the high standards and community-driven focus of North Ayrshire Council.

## Notice

North Ayrshire Council ("NAC") require a contractor to carry out design, supply and installation of Equality Act Compliant steel ramps to residential properties throughout North Ayrshire, as and when required. The ramps should be modular and recyclable and be able to be used throughout other NAC residential properties if necessary. NAC require the service to meet the obligations under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 and to adhere to the Equality Act 2010. The installation of ramps is part of a wider adaptations service offered by NAC. By installing adaptions to resident's homes who require additional support NAC can enable local residents to live in a community setting who may otherwise have had to stay in a hospital, care home or required more intensive care packages to support them.
