Summary of the contracting process

Habinteg Housing Association Limited procured passenger lift servicing and maintenance across its housing estate in England. The requirement covers planned servicing, reactive maintenance and works for lifts in properties tenanted by Habinteg, supporting legal compliance, resident safety and day-to-day access for residents. The supplier is also responsible for professionally managed maintenance and qualified personnel available around the clock, every day of the year, including public holidays, to respond to lift faults, failures and entrapments. Habinteg is a registered social housing provider operating accessible and adaptable homes for older and disabled people, families with disabled children and other residents. Shared Services for Housing managed the procurement, with Cook & Associates Lift Consultants acting as lift consultants.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Guideline Lift Services Limited on 29 April 2026. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 for £334,260 gross, covering 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with two optional one-year extensions allowing a maximum term to 31 July 2031. The single lot had an estimated gross value of £350,000. Habinteg used an open procedure, with tenders due by 20 January 2026 and clarification questions by 13 January 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%; suppliers also had to meet economic and technical selection criteria. Five bids were received, including three from SMEs. The contract includes monthly performance measures and quarterly resident satisfaction monitoring.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from a social housing provider for a single supplier capable of managing lift maintenance across a geographically broad housing estate in England. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering both planned and reactive passenger-lift maintenance, supported by qualified engineers and a genuine 24-hour, 365-day emergency response service. Operational capability should include rapid entrapment and failure response, high first-time-fix performance, routine visit completion, lift uptime and timely completion of LOLER remedial works. Suppliers would also need robust health and safety arrangements covering risk assessments and method statements, personal protective equipment and permits, together with effective resident communication and satisfaction management. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, but requires sufficient coverage, capacity and systems to manage dispersed properties and contract performance reporting.
