Summary of the contracting process

Metropolitan Housing Trust Limited procured works to modernise a domestic lift at Cantley Close. The requirement falls within lift installation and modernisation work, involving work to an existing residential lift rather than the supply of unrelated equipment or general building services. The buyer is a housing organisation responsible for the property where the lift work is required. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to lift manufacturers, lift installation contractors, modernisation specialists and firms providing associated engineering works for domestic housing. Businesses considering similar requirements from this buyer should be able to demonstrate a suitable capability in residential lift modernisation and installation, with the ability to work within an occupied or managed housing environment where relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed. Metropolitan Housing Trust Limited awarded the works to MORRIS VERMAPORT LIMITED. The award was active and the contract was signed on 12 August 2026. The contract value is £120,348.89 including gross taxes, in GBP. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 14 January 2027. The published procurement information identifies lift installation work as the relevant classification and describes the requirement as modernisation of a domestic lift. The process was run as a limited procurement rather than an open competition, indicating that suppliers were selected through a restricted competition route for this below-threshold housing works requirement.

This award provides a useful benchmark for businesses targeting future lift modernisation work for Metropolitan Housing Trust Limited. A credible competitor would need practical experience modernising domestic lifts and delivering lift installation works, together with the engineering skills, equipment and project management needed to upgrade an existing residential installation safely and effectively. The appointed supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist SME rather than only by a large national contractor. Firms with a focused residential lift capability, relevant technical competence and the capacity to complete a discrete housing modernisation project would be well placed to assess comparable future requirements from this buyer and prepare for a similar limited competition route.
