Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing is procuring lift modernisation works through four regional batches, covering London, the South East, the East Midlands and the West Midlands. The requirement includes replacing and modernising lifts, goods lifts, mechanical lifts and chairlifts, together with associated lift parts, building installation and maintenance work. Four contractors are intended to deliver the programme, with one contractor able to secure only one batch. Delivery includes managing works in occupied housing, liaising with residents and arranging temporary access solutions such as stairlifts where feasible and needed. Contractors must take legal responsibility for the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor roles under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations and Building Safety Act requirements. Southern Housing is the buying organisation. The procurement also seeks safe, efficient and standardised delivery, improved resident satisfaction, innovation and social value.

The procurement has reached tender: Southern Housing invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 24 July 2026 at 5pm, and tenders by 3 August 2026 at 5pm, through the MyTenders portal. The contract is expected to run from 9 December 2026 to 8 December 2031, with extensions available to 8 December 2036. The estimated total value is £85,980,224 excluding VAT, or £103,176,268.80 including VAT. The four batch values excluding VAT are £21,227,253, £21,630,049, £21,204,562 and £21,918,360. Each batch is evaluated separately using the Most Advantageous Tender: price is weighted at 40%, while quality covers delivery, customer experience, resources, improvement, assurance, information technology and sustainability. Economic and technical selection criteria apply.

This opportunity suits lift modernisation and building-services contractors able to manage substantial, multi-year programmes across housing assets. Bidders need the operational resources and management capacity to plan works, maintain lift availability, complete installations and manage defects through witness testing. Strong resident liaison and customer-service capability is important, including support for residents during disruptive works and consideration of temporary access arrangements. Suppliers must demonstrate the competence to fulfil Principal Designer and Principal Contractor responsibilities under CDM and Building Safety Act requirements, with robust compliance, quality assurance and health-and-safety systems. The evaluation also rewards information technology, remote monitoring or other emerging solutions, continuous improvement, sustainable principles, cost transparency and innovation. Lot 1 is identified as suitable for SMEs, and bidders may tender for multiple lots, subject to the one-lot award limit.
