Disabled Facilities Adaptations

2026-11-03

We are seeking feedback from relevant supply chain organisations in relation to questions which will inform the letting of the Council's current requirement, one which ensures best value and helps improve the Council's efficiency and effectiveness. It is our intention that any market intelligence gathered through this engagement will inform the Council's proposed contract procurement. Brent Council's Private Housing Services Department has had 2 framework contracts in place since 2021 to deliver major and minor disability related adaptations and repairs to council-tenanted properties within the borough of Brent. Those frameworks are due to expire in October 2026. The works under each contract are administered by the Council's Private Housing Services Team and the Grants Team. The contract to be procured will be let by Brent Council on behalf of its Grants Team and Private Housing Services. The Council is now looking to re-let the disabled adaptation works and services. The aim of the adaptation works is to make it easier for disabled persons and occupants to get into and out of their dwellings and internal rooms and facilities, ensuring safety and improved access to the outdoors and garden. Minor works or adaptations include, but are not limited to, the provision of level-access shower and toilet facilities (wet rooms), external access works such as stair lifts, ramps/handrails, shallow steps, hardstanding and decking, widening/reversing of internal/external doors, grab rails, drop down rails, stair rails, newel rails, steps, half steps and small ramps, and handrails, improved lighting, heating, controls and better visibility. Stair infills, door reversals, lighting, and minor electrical works.
