Summary of the contracting process

Solihull Community Housing Limited procured services for stairlifts and lifting equipment, covering their maintenance and repair. The requirement is categorised as repair and maintenance services and relates to one lot. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The work is for a housing organisation and is intended to keep equipment used by residents or service users operational and supported. The appointed supplier is Prism UK Medical Limited, a specialist medical-equipment business based in Wakefield. The procurement was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Stairlifts and Lifting Equipment Framework, so the requirement is relevant to suppliers providing stairlift and lifting-equipment maintenance, servicing and repair rather than to general construction or unrelated housing services.

This procurement has been awarded and completed: Solihull Community Housing Limited appointed Prism UK Medical Limited on 10 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The award and contract value is £1,200,000 excluding VAT and £1,440,000 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029, with two possible 12-month renewals extending the maximum period to 31 March 2031. It was a selective procedure using an award under framework, and was not competitively reopened for this call-off. There was one completed lot. The award was above the relevant threshold. The contract was awarded through the Northern Housing Consortium framework rather than through an open competition for this requirement.

This award demonstrates established demand from Solihull Community Housing Limited for a managed stairlift and lifting-equipment service covering repair and maintenance across the UK. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need practical capability in servicing, maintaining and repairing stairlifts and related lifting equipment, together with the operational capacity to support a housing organisation across a broad geographic area. Experience of planned and responsive maintenance for equipment used in homes or community settings would be commercially relevant. The procurement also shows that access to the Northern Housing Consortium framework, and the ability to meet its supplier requirements, is important for competing through this route. A credible competitor would therefore combine specialist technical delivery with dependable nationwide service management.
