How to Read This Tender
- 1DFG (Disabled Facilities Grant) is council-funded support for disabled people's home adaptations — the council is the buyer, not the end user. You're being contracted by the local authority, not the householder.
- 2"Lot 8" indicates this is one section of a larger contract framework. Check if you're bidding for just Lot 8 or multiple lots, and understand whether this is a one-off project or an ongoing framework agreement (likely multi-year).
- 3Look carefully at the full tender documents for: contract value, number of jobs expected, response timescales, insurance minimums, Building Regulations compliance requirements, and whether they want a single contractor or multiple approved suppliers.
- 4DFG contracts often have strict timescales (work must be completed within a set period from approval) and budget limits per job — check these carefully as they affect your pricing and resource planning.
- 5Watch for social value requirements — councils often ask how you'll create local jobs, train apprentices, or support vulnerable people, so prepare examples if bidding.
Tips for Small Businesses
- DFG work suits smaller, local contractors well — if you're not large enough to win the whole contract, ask if you can join a sub-contractor list or partner with a larger firm as their preferred installer for your area.
- Make sure you understand the funding process: councils approve the work first, then the householder appoints the contractor. There can be delays between approval and payment, so factor this into your cash flow.
- Insurance is critical here — check the exact public liability limits required (often £6-10 million) and ensure your Building Regulations compliance record is clean, as councils carry out quality audits on adaptation work.
