Summary of the contracting process

Salix Homes Limited is seeking specialist servicing and maintenance services for lifting equipment in Manchester. The requirement covers two areas: domestic lifts, and passenger lifting equipment, including lifts and associated equipment such as chairlifts. This is a services contract focused on keeping residential and passenger lifting installations maintained and operational. Suppliers may bid for the domestic lifts requirement, the passenger lifting equipment requirement, or both. The work is suited to lift maintenance contractors and specialist engineering businesses with experience servicing domestic and passenger lift equipment. Both lots are identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The process has reached tender: Salix Homes invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 28 September 2026 at 12 noon, and electronic tenders were due by 12 October 2026 at 12 noon. The award decision was due by 2 November 2026. Each contract is planned to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with a possible two-year renewal to 30 November 2031. The estimated value is £1,125,000 excluding VAT (£1,350,000 including VAT) across both lots. Lot 1, Domestic Lifts, is valued at £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT); Lot 2, Passenger Lifting Equipment Servicing and Maintenance, at £625,000 excluding VAT (£750,000 including VAT). Price and quality each carry 50% of the evaluation weighting.

This opportunity suits established lift servicing and maintenance providers able to support both domestic and passenger equipment requirements. Relevant businesses are those with practical engineering capability in planned servicing, maintenance and fault response for lifts and related lifting equipment, including chairlifts where applicable. Suppliers should assess whether they can provide reliable service across the required equipment base for a multi-year housing and passenger-services contract, and whether they can bid for one specialist area or cover both. The equal price and quality weighting means bidders will need to demonstrate a credible service approach as well as competitive pricing. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs may make the lots accessible to smaller specialist contractors, including those working independently or through suitable delivery partnerships.
