The suppliers will be offered work on a rotational basis with priority for the first Four (4) Suppliers. This Framework will operate for a period of two (2) years, with the option to extend for up to an additional two (2) years. - The Vale of Glamorgan Council requires disabled adaptation works that assist individuals to retain their independence at home. A Disabled Facilities Grant (“DFG”) is available to assist eligible people to adapt their homes in the Vale of Glamorgan. It is subject to person and property eligibility which is assessed by the Council. The properties included in the Framework will be privately owned either by the DFG Applicant or their landlord or Council Tenants. Permission for access and to complete the works will be obtained by the Council as part of the DFG process. - To assist eligible people for a DFG (DFG Applicants), the Council offers a Disabled Facilities Agency Service (the Agency Service). Where DFG Applicants choose to employ the Agency Service, the Council will provide a full service in preparing plans, preparing and submitting the formal grant application, supervising works on site and certifying the works on completion. Over the last four (4) years, the Council’s Agency Service has used an Adaptations Framework working with several Suppliers to deliver the adaptation works DFG Applicants require, removing the need for each individual grant to be tendered. - In addition to the above, this framework may be used by the Council’s, Council Housing Adaptations Team (CHAT) to support the delivery of adaptations within its council housing stock for tenants identified as requiring support to continue living independently. The Council has approximately 4,000 properties within its portfolio and the successful contractor(s) will be engaged by the Housing and Building Services Adaptations Team to deliver adaptations. - The following list includes examples of the type of Works that may be required. - Access to and from Dwelling - External ramping, fixed and temporary - Low threshold doorways - Door entry systems ii.
