Summary of the contracting process

Wales and West Housing Association Ltd procured services to supply, install and maintain straight and curved stairlifts in its housing properties. The work is intended to support residents who require stairlift access, with suppliers working alongside the association’s in-house team. The requirement covers three regional areas across Wales: North Wales, West Wales and South Wales. The services include the provision of stairlift equipment, installation and ongoing repair and maintenance of building installations. The buyer is based in Cardiff, while delivery is required across Wales. This is a housing-related mobility-access and lift-maintenance requirement rather than a general construction or equipment-supply contract.

The procurement has been awarded through an open procedure and is complete. The tender deadline was 15 June 2026 at 12:00, enquiries closed on 22 May 2026 at 17:00, and awards were made on 30 July 2026. The three lots were North Wales, West Wales and South Wales, with tender estimates of £240,000, £200,000 and £800,000 excluding VAT respectively. Awards were made to Stannah Lift Services Limited for North Wales at £200,000 excluding VAT, Cantre Mobility for West Wales at £120,000, and Norse Group Services Ltd and Stannah Lift Services Limited for South Wales at £300,000 each. The awarded contract periods run from 1 September 2026 to 30 August 2028, with options for two 12-month extensions. Quality and price were weighted equally at 50% each; economic and technical selection criteria applied.

This award demonstrates established demand from a Welsh housing provider for end-to-end stairlift capability: equipment supply, installation, planned and responsive maintenance, and repair. A credible competitor would need suitably qualified staff, reliable access to straight and curved stairlift products, installation capacity and the ability to provide continuing support across one or more Welsh regions. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, and two of the four South Wales awards went to the same large supplier, showing that regional delivery and the ability to manage overlapping provision can matter. Suppliers should be able to evidence both technical competence and financial capacity, while offering service quality alongside competitive pricing. The buyer’s use of an in-house team also makes effective partnership working important.
