Housing Adaptation Service – Contractors’ Framework

The Council operates a HAS which provides an end-to-end agency service for clients who have been assessed by Occupational Therapists as requiring adaptations to their homes. These include owner-occupiers and tenants of Registered Providers or private landlords within the Borough. Funding is provided through the Council’s Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) budget, however as the grant is means-tested some clients are required to make a contribution. The agency service is delivered by the Council’s Housing Adaptation Service (HAS) and includes the provision of drawings and specifications and the selection and management of contractors through to completion of works.
