Summary of the contracting process

Arbour Housing Limited procured a dynamic purchasing system for passenger and domestic lift work. The scope covers the design, supply, installation, refurbishment, servicing and repair of lifts, classed as lift-maintenance services (CPV 50750000). The requirement is delivered in Northern Ireland and is intended for housing and related public-sector settings. Arbour Housing is the buyer and central purchasing body. The arrangement can support individual requirements from participating public bodies, with work ranging from planned maintenance and repair to major replacement or refurbishment. Suppliers therefore need to cover some or all of the lift lifecycle rather than only routine inspections. The procurement used one lot, covering the full stated requirement. The arrangement is a dynamic purchasing system and framework-style route through which further lift projects can be awarded.

The procurement has been awarded and is recorded as complete. It used a selective restricted procedure with written submissions, English-language responses and a two-stage process requiring at least one candidate. The tender deadline was 26 June 2023, and the stated lot period runs from 27 May 2023 to 26 May 2033. The lot’s estimated value was £250,000,000. Evaluation was weighted 40% quality and 60% cost. Awards were made separately to TK Elevator UK Ltd, Concept Elevators (UK) Ltd, MAND PLS Ltd, Northern Elevator Ltd, ILECS Ltd, E A Foulds Ltd, Stairlift Specialists Ltd trading as Mobility Living Centre, Schindler Ltd, Thames Valley Controls Ltd, RJ Lifts Group Ltd and KONE (NI) Ltd. Recorded contract values range from £4,680 to £49,551,621.80, with signatures dated between 27 February 2024 and 1 September 2026. The single lot is marked cancelled despite these active awards.

This procurement demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for lift services across Northern Ireland, with awards to both large manufacturers and specialist SMEs. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in passenger and domestic lift design, supply, installation, refurbishment, servicing and repair, with enough engineering capacity to respond to varied housing requirements. The successful supplier group indicates that smaller firms can compete alongside national lift companies, including specialists focused on particular equipment or service areas. Strong technical evidence will matter because quality represented 40% of evaluation, while competitive pricing represented 60%. Businesses should be able to operate through a restricted, written-submission route and support individual call-off requirements under a dynamic purchasing system. Relevant maintenance experience, reliable response arrangements, competent engineers and the ability to deliver compliant work across Northern Ireland would be important.
