Summary of the contracting process

Moat Homes Limited, a sub-central government public authority and housing association, is currently conducting an open procurement process for "LOLER Inspections." This service falls under the Technical inspection and testing services category (CPV code 71630000) and is aimed at ensuring compliance of passenger and domestic lifts across Moat's properties located primarily in Kent, London, Essex, and Sussex. The procurement is in the "tender" stage, with key upcoming dates including the enquiry period ending on 4 March 2026 and the tender submission deadline on 18 March 2026. The contract period is set to begin on 1 August 2026 and end on 31 July 2028, with options for renewal up to four years, depending on supplier performance.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses experienced in technical inspection and testing services, particularly those targeting lift compliance. The contract's substantial value of £320,000, with a maximum gross amount of £384,000, signifies considerable business growth potential. Suitable businesses include SMEs capable of providing high-quality proposals and competitive pricing, as reflected by the award criteria weighting of 60% on quality and 40% on price. Engaging in this tender not only offers a lucrative contract but also the chance to establish long-term relationships with a prominent organisation in the housing sector. Interested parties are encouraged to access procurement documents and instructions via Moat's e-tendering portal to ensure successful participation.

Renewal: The contract will include options to extend up to a maximum of four years depending on supplier performance.

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.
