Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council procured the supply and installation of stairlifts for disabled adaptations, including associated hoists and related adaptation works. The requirement falls within the stairlift works category and is intended to support accessibility in properties across Northumberland and the wider North East of England. The council is the buying organisation. The procurement formed part of the EEM not-for-profit procurement consortium’s framework for stairlifts, hoists and disabled adaptations, specifically its Stairlifts, Hoists and Disabled Adaptations lot. This is a works requirement rather than a straightforward equipment-only purchase: relevant suppliers would need to provide stairlift systems together with installation and the practical adaptation work needed to make them usable. The arrangement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement has been awarded. Northumberland County Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender closing on 22 July 2026. Savaria Lifts (UK) Ltd was awarded the contract on 22 July 2026 for £400,000. The contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 23 July 2027. The requirement was evaluated as a stairlift supply and installation works contract under the framework’s relevant lot. The award is active and the procurement is complete. The selected supplier is identified as an SME. The contract covers delivery across the North East region, with Northumberland County Council as the buyer. The award represents the stated value for this council requirement and should not be treated as a wider framework value.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined public-sector demand for complete stairlift and disabled-adaptation delivery in Northumberland. A credible competitor would need to combine product supply with safe, reliable installation and the ability to carry out associated hoist or property adaptation works. Experience serving people with mobility needs would be directly relevant, as would the operational capacity to assess requirements, coordinate installations and support delivery across the council’s area. The use of a framework call-off shows that access to the appropriate procurement route matters as well as technical capability. The council’s selection of an SME indicates that a smaller specialist provider can be credible for a requirement of this type, provided it can demonstrate dependable delivery and suitable expertise.
