Framework: winning a place puts you on an approved list for future work. It's the entry ticket, not guaranteed work.

In plain English

Sunderland Care and Support Limited, through Sunderland City Council, wants a supplier list for supplying and installing accessibility equipment and home adaptations in occupied homes in the City of Sunderland, running for about 4 years from 1 March 2027. A place on this framework (a list of approved suppliers) is the entry ticket to future work, not guaranteed work, and one supplier is intended for each of six lots.

Good fit for: Stairlift, hoist, through-floor lift, automatic WC or ramp installers able to work in the homes of vulnerable residents in Sunderland.

The catch (with the notice's own words):
  • Only one supplier per lot The Authority intends to appoint a single Supplier to each Lot
  • Full service from survey to repair including property surveys, supply, installation, commissioning, customer instruction, handover and, where applicable, servicing, maintenance and repair of equipment.
  • Work inside homes of vulnerable people may involve working within the homes of older people, disabled adults, disabled children and other vulnerable residents

What the buyer says

Sunderland Care and Support Ltd (the Authority) has appointed Sunderland City Council as the Procuring Organisation to procure on its behalf, a Framework Agreement for the “Provision of the Supply and Installation of Accessibility Equipment and Independent Living Adaptations” and it is anticipated the Framework duration will be for a period of 4 years. The equipment is to be installed within domestic properties located in the City of Sunderland that will primarily be undertaken within occupied residential properties and may involve working within the homes of older people, disabled adults, disabled children and other vulnerable residents, and will support the delivery of housing adaptations and equipment that enable residents to remain safe, accessible and independent within their own homes. The Framework Agreement will be divided into the following six Lots: • Lot 1 Straight Track Stairlifts; • Lot 2 Curved Track Stairlifts; • Lot 3 Through Floor Lifts; • Lot 4 Ceiling Tracking Hoists; • Lot 5 Automatic WCs; and • Lot 6 Prefabricated Ramps. The Authority intends to appoint a single Supplier to each Lot and the Supplier is required to undertake all activities associated with the delivery of the works, including property surveys, supply, installation, commissioning, customer instruction, handover and, where applicable, servicing, maintenance and repair of equipment. Suppliers may bid for one, more than one, or all Lots, subject to the requirements of any subsequent procurement process and there is currently no proposed restriction on the number of Lots that may be awarded to an individual Supplier.
