Contract 97 - Installation of Level Access Showers

North Tyneside Council (the Authority) are seeking the establishment of a framework agreement for supply, installation, and completion of level access showers and associated bathroom adaptations within occupied residential properties on behalf of the Authority. The works are to be carried out with minimal disruption to residents, in compliance with all relevant building regulations, statutory requirements, and the Authority's housing adaptation standards.

The Authority funds and manages the provision of a range of adaptations for customers following an assessment of need carried out by an Occupational Therapist. Referrals are forwarded to the Adaptations & Loan Equipment Service (ALES) which is based at Killingworth Depot, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE12 6QQ. ALES administer and manage the provision in accordance with the Authority's Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) Home Adaptation and Relocation Assistance Policy.

It should be noted that the works required will cover both DFG funded works and works in tenanted properties within the Authority's Housing stock where such work is funded by the Authority's housing spend.
