Summary of the contracting process

Orwell Housing Association Ltd procured servicing and repairs for passenger lifts, stairlifts and hoists at properties it owns and manages. The requirement covers routine servicing, maintenance and repair of lifting equipment, including lift parts, stairlift equipment and installation-related work. The services are delivered across the United Kingdom. Orwell Housing Association is the buying organisation, with Eastern Procurement Limited acting as the framework provider. This is a specialist building-equipment maintenance requirement for suppliers supporting housing providers and other property portfolios with installed vertical-access and lifting equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 30 July 2026 to Stannah Lift Services Limited. The award value is £410,114 excluding VAT (£492,136 including VAT). It used a selective procedure through an existing framework, with a non-competitive framework call-off. The contract period is 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2029, with an option to extend for one further year on two occasions, allowing a potential end date of 29 October 2031. The award covers one completed lot. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 7 August 2026. The award is above the relevant threshold.

This outcome demonstrates established demand from Orwell Housing Association for planned servicing, maintenance and repairs across a mixed portfolio of passenger lifts, stairlifts and hoists. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would need specialist capability in inspection, servicing, fault diagnosis, repair and installation of lifting equipment, together with access to appropriate replacement parts and the capacity to support properties across the United Kingdom. Experience working safely in occupied housing and managing responsive repairs alongside scheduled maintenance would strengthen a competing offer. The route used here also shows that the buyer sources this type of work through a framework, so framework access and a credible track record with housing or property-sector clients would be commercially relevant.
