Summary of the contracting process

Wakefield Council is conducting a procurement process for stairlifts, steplifts, vertical through-floor lifts, and hoists, with the contract period commencing from 1st May 2020 and concluding on 31st March 2021. The procurement method utilised is a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication, and the total estimated value of the contract is £840,000. This tender falls under the goods category, specifically lifting equipment for the healthcare sector, and is situated in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The tender period ended on 12th February 2019, and the awarded contracts aim to address gaps in current provisions, including legal oversight issues that necessitated renegotiation of contracts.

This opportunity is particularly conducive for businesses involved in the healthcare equipment sector, especially those adept in providing lifting solutions and technology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete due to the structure of the procurement process, which is favourable for participants looking to expand their market presence. Companies specialising in healthcare mobility solutions, servicing, and compliance with safety regulations would benefit significantly from this tender, as it offers a pathway to establish ongoing relationships with Wakefield Council and potentially other public sector clients.

Notice Description

Stairlifts, Steplifts, Vertical Through Floor Lifts and Hoists A call off was undertaken from the YPO Framework 814 with contracts commencing 1st March 2019 until end of October 2020 however it transpired that although services were being provided by the providers, the current provision via the YPO framework did not include LOLER inspects. Because of this it was felt the current contracts were not fit for purpose and the Council took legal action to cease the contracts and negotiate new contracts with the same providers under PCR2015 Reg 32 (2) (c). The new contracts were back dated to commence on 1st May 2020 for 10 months to allow for a competitive tender process to be carried out.
