Bathing Adaptations Rotational Framework 2026

Description

North Somerset Council sought to appoint suitably qualified providers to a 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 were asked to price against the Schedule of Rates. The total price submissions were 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. .
