BHTA members involved in home adaptations and accessibility solutions are encouraged to review Denbighshire County Council’s tender for its Minor Adaptations Partnership (MAP).
The service supports people to remain safely in their own homes and communities, reducing the need for more intensive health and care interventions.
The contract covers minor adaptation works in the Conwy and Denbighshire area. Work may include handrails and stair rails in various sizes and materials, doorsteps, key safes, and bathroom adaptations. This list is not exhaustive.
This tender is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) able to deliver the required adaptation works.
The council is running a below-threshold open competition. Tenders will be evaluated on quality, weighted at 80 percent of the overall score, and price, weighted at 20 percent.
Within the quality score, delivery of the contract accounts for 40 percent, staff for 30 percent, partnership working for 20 percent, and community benefits for 10 percent. These criteria together make up the quality element, which contributes 80 percent of the overall evaluation.
Interested suppliers should register or log in to Proactis, select the relevant opportunity, and register their interest to access the tender documents and submit a response electronically. New users should select Denbighshire County Council when registering.
Tenders must be submitted by 12pm on 6 November 2026. The deadline for enquiries is 12pm on 30 October 2026.
Tenders may be submitted in Welsh and will be treated no less favourably than submissions in English.
The named contact is Lauren Roberts at lauren.roberts@denbighshire.gov.uk.

BHTA members involved in home adaptations and specialist equipment are encouraged to review a tender from Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing (STAR Housing) for its ‘Major Works and Repairs Framework’. The opportunity includes accessibility adaptations within major refurbishment programmes, alongside internal and external adaptations and specialist equipment delivered through a dedicated Healthy Homes service.
The wider framework covers maintenance, repairs, refurbishment, and capital improvements across STAR Housing’s homes in Shropshire.
Two lots are relevant to BHTA members:
Lot 2: Major Works and Major Voids – Valued at an estimated £19.08 million including VAT, this lot seeks one principal contractor to deliver major refurbishment and improvement programmes, including accessibility adaptations. The contractor must engage and coordinate nominated specialist subcontractors where instructed by STAR Housing.
Lot 3: Healthy Homes – Valued at an estimated £7 million including VAT, this lot covers internal and external adaptations and specialist equipment as part of a wider service addressing housing conditions. STAR Housing will retain routine assessments and initial investigations, commissioning additional specialist expertise where required.
Suppliers may bid for any number of lots if they meet the relevant conditions of participation, but STAR Housing will not award both Lot 2 and Lot 3 to the same supplier.
This tender is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, including local and regional suppliers with relevant capabilities. Suppliers will be encouraged to use local labour, apprenticeships, specialist subcontractors, and regional supply chains.
The competitive flexible procedure comprises a participation stage requiring a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ), an invitation to tender for suppliers meeting the conditions of participation, and an interview.
The Find a Tender notice contains conflicting evaluation information: its procedure description states that tenders will be evaluated on quality, weighted at 60 percent, and price, weighted at 40 percent; its award criteria table lists technical/quality at 100 percent. Suppliers should seek clarification through the procurement portal.
The notice describes a four-year framework, but its estimated dates of 7 May 2027 to 7 October 2031 span four years and five months. It also lists a possible one-day extension to 8 October 2031 without explaining its purpose. Suppliers should confirm the intended duration.
Submit a request to participate electronically through the eSourcing Data supplier portal by 12pm on 3 November 2026. The deadline for enquiries is 11:59pm on 28 October 2026.
Access the tender documents through the portal. ‘Document 1 – Information and Instructions’ explains how to apply, while Document 5 summarises each lot and its minimum requirements.
