BHTA members involved in home adaptations, accessibility works, and Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG)-funded projects are encouraged to review a new minor works framework opportunity from Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council.
The wider framework covers a broad range of minor works across 14 lots. For BHTA members, the relevant lots cover DFG-funded residential extensions and architectural services for adaptations.
Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council is establishing an open, multi-supplier minor works framework. The council states that the framework will be used in the first instance for appointing suppliers under the selected lots, with engagement outside the framework only considered in exceptional circumstances.
The framework will operate in Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees.
Lot 10, Residential Extensions, covers the provision of disabled adaptations to qualifying residents’ homes through funded DFGs. The estimated value of this lot is £1,600,000 excluding VAT.
Lot 11, Architects for DFG projects, covers the production of architectural plans for disabled adaptations and extensions to residential properties. This lot may be relevant to organisations working with adaptation projects that include design, planning, or specialist residential access requirements. The estimated value of this lot is £200,000 excluding VAT.
Call-offs under the framework may be awarded either directly to the highest-ranked contractor that can meet the council’s requirements or through a mini competition involving all contractors appointed to the relevant framework lot.
This tender is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, as well as larger suppliers, able to deliver DFG-related adaptation works, residential extensions, or architectural services for disabled adaptations.
The award criteria are Quality 80 percent and Price 20 percent. For mini competitions under the framework, the council may set quality and price weightings between 0 percent and 100 percent, depending on the requirements of the further competition.
Tenders must be submitted electronically via the OPEN e-sourcing tool. Once registered, suppliers should browse opportunities and search for “SBC Minor Works Framework”.
The deadline for enquiries and submissions is 12pm on 16 July 2026.
