UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orwell Housing Association Ltd is buying servicing and repair services for passenger lifts, stairlifts and hoists at properties it owns and manages. The requirement covers routine servicing, repairs, lift parts and installation or related work for lifting and handling equipment. It is a housing-sector maintenance contract rather than a supply-only purchase, so relevant businesses are those able to inspect, maintain, repair and support installed lifting equipment across a housing property portfolio. Orwell Housing is based in Ipswich and the work relates to its properties in the East of England. The procurement is for services and is managed through Eastern Procurement Limited, acting as the framework provider. The requirement was awarded as a single completed lot to Stannah Lift Services Limited.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Orwell Housing used a selective procedure under a framework, with the award made without a competitive call-off. Stannah Lift Services Limited was awarded the contract on 30 July 2026 for £410,114 excluding VAT, or £492,136 including VAT. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and runs from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2029. Orwell Housing can extend it by one year on two occasions, giving a maximum possible end date of 29 October 2031 and a total possible duration of five years. The procurement was above the relevant threshold. The contract covers one lot and the published requirement describes servicing and repairs to the housing association’s passenger lifts, stairlifts and hoists.

This award shows established demand from Orwell Housing for a specialist lifting-equipment maintenance provider capable of supporting passenger lifts, stairlifts and hoists in occupied housing. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in planned servicing, fault diagnosis, responsive repairs, replacement of lift parts and installation or related work for lifting and handling equipment. The requirement suits an organisation with enough engineering resource and operational capacity to maintain equipment across a distributed property portfolio, while handling different types of access and lifting equipment. Experience in housing maintenance or similar safety-critical environments would help demonstrate reliable service delivery, repair response and compliance with the buyer’s operational needs. The incumbent is a large lift-services company, indicating that scale and specialist coverage are relevant when this requirement is next competed.
