Summary of the contracting process

Lichfield District Council has completed a public procurement process for the "DFG Stairlifts" contract, aimed at the provision of stairlifts under the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) service. This falls under the industry category of lift and escalator installation work, as classified by CPV 45313000. The procurement, managed through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, covers the West Midlands in the United Kingdom. The contract commenced on 4th May 2026 and will conclude on 3rd October 2027, with a total value of £200,000. Key dates for this tender included the tender period end on 6th March 2026 and the award date on 17th March 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in lift and escalator installation, particularly those with the capability to service frameworks and contracts in the public sector. While the contract has already been awarded to Stannah Lift Services, a large-scale supplier based in Hampshire, understanding the demand in such tenders can benefit businesses aiming to expand their footprint in public sector contracts related to accessibility improvements. Even though the current process is closed, firms positioned as framework contractors may find future openings in similar tenders beneficial for growth.
