Framework for Disabled Adaptations Work

Tamworth Borough Council publishes Construction work continuously — 31 notices, roughly one every 61 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

17% of Tamworth Borough Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

Tamworth Borough Council manages the delivery of adaptations to its residents through both the mandatory Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs) for private residents and adaptations to Council homes for tenants, using the criteria laid out within the Housing, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 to determine eligibility.

The Council is in the process of mobilising enhancements to further develop its adaptations service for residents.

These enhancements will offer improvements to the speed of delivery, consistency, and quality of adaptation work and importantly improved health, wellbeing and quality of life outcomes for residents that collectively contribute towards the vision of: Delivering a holistic, person-centred service to the older and disabled residents of Tamworth to help them live safely and independently in their homes and communities.
