Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) established a framework for stairlifts and associated services for YPO and other public sector contracting authorities. It covers seated straight and curved stairlifts, perch stairlifts, step lifts, inclined platform lifts, vertical through-floor lifts and ceiling-track hoists, as well as service and maintenance for these products. Suppliers deliver directly to the end customer when an order is placed. The work is intended for use across the United Kingdom. The framework includes separate product lots, service and maintenance sub-lots, and a multi-lot call-off route, covering equipment supply, installation, repair and maintenance. It is relevant to manufacturers and suppliers of mobility lifts and hoists, and businesses able to provide related installation or support services.

The open competitive tender is complete and the framework contracts have been signed. YPO awarded places across the product lots, the associated service and maintenance sub-lots, and a multi-lot route. Awardees include Pollock Lifts, Premier Mobility, Prism UK Medical, Saadia, Savaria Lifts, Stannah Lift Services, TK Access Solutions, Wessex Lift, Direct Healthcare Group, Terry Group, Stiltz, Caretech, Chiltern Invadex and Simply Moving and Sleeping; supplier participation varies by lot. The awards were made on 17 July 2026 and contracts were signed on 13 August 2026. The contract period is 26 August 2026 to 25 August 2030, with the vertical through-floor lift lot running to 30 August 2030. The stated value is £70 million excluding VAT for each lot; these are separate lot values and should not be added together. Evaluation considered price, quality, delivery and customer service, social value and sustainability. The tender submission deadline was 15 April 2026.

This framework demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for a broad range of mobility lifts and hoists, alongside installation, servicing and maintenance. Suppliers appointed included both small and medium-sized businesses and larger firms, showing that the opportunity was not confined to the largest providers. To compete credibly when a similar requirement returns, a supplier would need to show it can deliver the relevant equipment and services directly to customers across the UK, with reliable account management, service delivery, operational and onsite execution, customer care, communication, governance and reporting. Pricing approach was assessed alongside these delivery capabilities. Social value and environmental initiatives, and modern slavery, were also part of the evaluation. Maintenance suppliers should be able to support the specific equipment type they offer; service sub-lots were linked to successful applications for product lots. No particular accreditation is indicated.
