Provision of Works Under Disabled Facilities Grants

Tender description

This document provides details as to the contractual arrangements and contractor responsibilities for all contracts carried out under a Disabled Facility Grant or for a disabled person not in receipt of grant funding but being provided with assistance by the Council ("the Client"). Lot 1: Winchester City Council "The Council" have invited tenders for the Provision of Works Under Disabled Facilities Grants. The contract will commence on 1 September 2022 for a 3 year period until 31 August 2025. There is an optional extension of 12 Months (3 + 1). The anticipated value of this framework is circa £3,000,000 over 3 + 1 Years. The contractors will be recommended to applicants for works, but there is no guarantee of work as a result of being appointed onto this Framework. The Council has created a framework of Contractors it can recommend to Disabled Facility Grant (DFG) recipients for the provision of bathroom adaptations and other minor works. The Contract for any works carried out by Contractors will be between the Contractor and the grant recipient and no contract for works will exist between the Contractor and the Council. The Council's expected target is to appoint 10 Contractors to the Framework and the Council will agree a fixed schedule of rates for the works. However only 7 contractors were appointed to the framework. The Framework is applicable only for works under grants approved by the Council's Private Sector Housing Team.
