Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council buys and installs mobility lifting equipment for use across Carmarthenshire. The requirement covers stairlifts, including straight and curved models fitted on either side of a staircase; ceiling track hoists; through-floor lifts; and external platform lifts. This is a supply-and-installation service, with individual installations commissioned through competitions among suppliers on a dynamic purchasing system. The equipment is intended for the care sector. Suppliers whose business covers mobility equipment and associated installation work are most directly relevant, particularly those able to provide one or more of the listed equipment types in the council’s area.

The procurement has been awarded through a restricted procedure using a dynamic purchasing system, with installation work competed among system suppliers. The published procurement period for the specific work described runs from 1 July to 30 September 2026. The contract period for the DPS is initially four years, with an option to extend by up to four further years in one-year increments, subject to budget, performance and continuing suitability. The council selected suppliers for multiple individual awards: LTC Mobility Ltd, Direct Healthcare Group Ltd, Cantre Mobility and TJ Services Wales Ltd are among those named. The record lists numerous awards across stairlifts, ceiling track hoists and through-floor lifts, as well as an external platform lift award. Evaluation was on cost alone; the DPS application deadline was 21 December 2026.

This is recurring council demand for supply and installation of mobility equipment, with stairlifts generating frequent individual awards and further work covering ceiling track hoists, through-floor lifts and external platform lifts. Existing awards to several Welsh SMEs show that smaller specialist suppliers can compete through this route, and that capability in one equipment category may be relevant without supplying the full range. Credible competitors need to meet the council’s suitability and technical and economic selection requirements, deliver installation work, and compete on cost. The council also expects appointed suppliers to work with its contract manager on community benefits and, when requested, support local economic development. Examples include recruitment or training for people not in education, employment or training, SME opportunities in supply chains, mentoring and support for community or education initiatives.
