Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process detailed here involves Moat Homes Limited, a public authority - sub-central government housing association managing approximately 22,000 properties across the southeast of England, including Kent, London, Essex, and Sussex. The procurement is for LOLER Inspections (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) on passenger and domestic lifts, totalling 97 and 118 lifts respectively. This contract, titled "LOLER Inspections", falls under the industry category of services, specifically technical inspection and testing services, as denoted by the CPV code 71630000. It follows an open procedure procurement method. The entire contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2028, with a possible extension of up to an additional four years depending on supplier performance. As of the latest update, the contract has been awarded to MAND (PLS) LTD as of 5 June 2026, with a gross amount of £370,800, following the completion of the tender process.

This tender creates significant opportunities for growth, particularly for SMEs with expertise in technical inspection services. As the requirement is to maintain 100% compliance across a substantial number of properties, this presents a sustained business opportunity. Businesses that can demonstrate quality proposals and competitive pricing, in line with the 60-40 weightage criteria for quality and price respectively, will find this procurement an advantageous opportunity. The open procedure method ensures that qualified SMEs have the chance to compete effectively, given the scale of the requirement and the importance of maintaining regulatory compliance, thereby fostering potential for market expansion and increased visibility in the sector.

Planning Information

Moat has never procured for LOLER inspections as this was previously provided by our insurance provider. Due to this being a new service, we want to engage with suppliers to help shape our requirements and understand the market for suppliers that offer LOLER services. Meetings will be a maximum of 1 hour long and will be held via Microsoft Teams on the 28th and 29th July 2025. If you are interested in meeting with us, please contact us at tenders@moat.co.uk by 5pm Thursday 24th July 2025. An agenda will be issued to all invited suppliers by 5pm Friday 25th July 2025. This will include a list of questions that will be asked to allow for preparation.
