BHTA members involved in home adaptations, accessibility equipment, stairlifts, through-floor lifts, hoists, and related installation services are encouraged to review a new framework opportunity from City of Doncaster Council.
The council is seeking to establish an open framework to support delivery of Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) housing adaptations, alongside existing adaptations delivered for St Leger Homes of Doncaster. The framework will cover works across Barnsley, Doncaster, and Rotherham.
City of Doncaster Council is looking to appoint multiple contractors across a housing adaptations framework. There is no limit on the number of contractors that can be appointed to each lot, and suppliers may apply for one or more lots.
The framework is divided into nine lots overall. The relevant lots for BHTA members are listed below.
The works are intended to improve accessibility, safety, independence, and usability for residents, including people returning home from hospital or requiring adaptations to support care at home.
Relevant lots include:
Once the first framework is established, a new framework is expected to open annually, enabling new contractors to apply. Existing contractors may be able to passport onto a new framework if their documentation remains up to date.
Admission to the framework does not guarantee any minimum or maximum volume or value of work. Contractors admitted to the framework will need to complete City of Doncaster Council’s quality assurance process before taking part in mini competitions or receiving direct call-offs.
Call-offs may be made with or without competition. Mini competitions are expected to be the main route, although direct awards may also be made using a taxi-rank system.
This tender is suitable for SMEs, as well as larger providers, able to deliver housing adaptations, accessibility equipment, lifts, hoists, and related installation, maintenance, and support services.
The evaluation weighting is quality questions 80 percent and pricing schedule 20 percent.
Applications must be submitted electronically via YORtender.
The deadline for both enquiries and submissions is 12pm on 23 July 2026.
Enquiries can be sent to City of Doncaster Council’s strategic procurement team at strategicprocurementteam@doncaster.gov.uk.
