Summary of the contracting process

The Stairlifts and Lifting Equipment Framework for 2026 is currently in the tender stage, initiated by the public authority, sub-central government identified as Stairlifts and Lifting Equipment Framework 2026. Located in Sunderland, UK, the framework is seeking bids for designing, supplying, installing, servicing, and maintaining stairlifts and various lifting equipment. The procurement is set as an open procedure, with a tender period ending on 26th January 2026 and an enquiry period until 19th January 2026. The value of the framework is £100 million, with a gross amount of £117.6 million. This initiative is part of a broader effort to streamline services across the UK, through various lots focusing on different equipment categories such as stairlifts and hoists. The framework agreement allows for flexibility with direct and ranked awards or further competitions, catering to the strategic needs of the Northern Housing Consortium members.

This initiative provides substantial business growth opportunities for firms specialising in manufacturing, installing, and servicing mechanical lifts and other relevant equipment. It is particularly well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can meet the economic turnover thresholds and technical grounds for participation. Companies can benefit from long-term engagements as the contracts span from 2026 to 2030, covering multiple lots and services. Engaging in this framework not only presents a lucrative opportunity but also aligns businesses with government-backed procurement, fostering reliability and sustainability in operations. The market engagement phase, now scheduled, provides an excellent platform for potential suppliers to shape and adapt the procurement to meet emerging sector needs effectively.
