Summary of the contracting process

Arbour Housing Limited commissioned a passenger and domestic lift service covering design, supply, installation, refurbishment, servicing and repair. The requirement is classified as lift-maintenance services and is delivered across Northern Ireland. It is a public-sector housing requirement for a broad range of lift-related works and maintenance activities, rather than a single equipment purchase. The buyer is Arbour Housing Limited, based in Portadown. The arrangement is structured as a dynamic purchasing system, supporting the delivery of lift services for the organisation’s housing assets. Businesses operating across lift engineering, maintenance, refurbishment, installation and associated supply will find the subject matter directly relevant, particularly where they can work across Northern Ireland and support both planned and reactive requirements for passenger and domestic lifts.

The procurement has been awarded following a restricted procedure with selective participation. KONE (NI) Ltd was selected on 1 September 2026 for £238,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2033. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is a services procurement with one requirement covering Northern Ireland, rather than separate lots. The evaluation resulted in an active award to KONE (NI) Ltd. The arrangement is a dynamic purchasing system for the specified lift services, and the tender had a submission deadline of 1 September 2026. The buyer is Arbour Housing Limited.

This award demonstrates established demand from Arbour Housing Limited for end-to-end passenger and domestic lift capability. A credible competing supplier would need qualified lift engineers, strong arrangements for design and equipment supply, and the capacity to install, refurbish, service and repair lifts across Northern Ireland. The requirement suits businesses able to combine planned maintenance with responsive fault resolution and larger installation or refurbishment projects, rather than providers focused on only one specialist task. It also indicates that smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises may be suitable participants. Experience managing safety-critical vertical-transport assets, coordinating site work in occupied housing and maintaining reliable service delivery would strengthen a future competitor’s position for this buyer’s lift requirements.
