Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Community Housing Association (CCHA) is procuring repair and maintenance services for specialist lifting and mobility equipment installed in tenants’ homes and communal areas across its housing stock. The equipment includes straight and curved stairlifts, through-floor platform lifts, ceiling track hoists, and associated lifting equipment and accessories. The service is intended to keep equipment safe, compliant and operational, helping residents with disabilities, mobility difficulties, age-related needs and long-term health conditions to live safely and independently. The contractor will work with CCHA’s Property Services, Asset Management, Compliance and Housing Management teams, regularly entering occupied homes and supporting vulnerable residents. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The process reached the tender stage, with CCHA inviting offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 11 August 2026 at 12:40, and enquiries by 12:35 on the same date. The single contract is planned to run from 1 December 2026 to 1 December 2028, with two possible one-year extensions on a +1, +1 basis, allowing a maximum end date of 1 December 2030. Its estimated value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 70% to technical and quality responses and 30% to the commercial response. Bids had to be submitted electronically through the specified procurement portal; email and post were not accepted.

This opportunity suits a suitably qualified and experienced lifting and mobility equipment contractor able to provide planned servicing and preventative maintenance, responsive repairs and emergency breakdown attendance. Suppliers should be capable of maintaining stairlifts, through-floor platform lifts, ceiling track hoists and related accessories, while managing an asset base that changes as equipment is installed, replaced, adapted or removed. The work requires sufficient operational capacity to coordinate routine and urgent visits and to maintain safety and compliance across multiple properties. Contractors must be comfortable working in occupied homes and delivering a customer-focused service for vulnerable residents, including effective liaison with housing, property, asset management and compliance teams. SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises are explicitly considered suitable.
