Summary of the contracting process

Solihull Community Housing Limited procured stairlifts and lifting equipment for its housing services, with the requirement classified as mechanical lifts. The work is for delivery in the United Kingdom and relates to Lot 1 of the procurement, linked to Lots 1.2 and 1.3 of the Northern Housing Consortium’s Stairlifts and Lifting Equipment Framework. The appointed supplier is Pollock Lifts Limited, an SME based in Carrickfergus. The requirement concerns the supply of lifting equipment rather than general construction or unrelated housing services. Businesses operating in stairlift, lift and associated lifting-equipment markets should regard this as evidence of demand from a community housing provider, particularly where they already participate in, or can access, relevant public-sector purchasing frameworks.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Pollock Lifts Limited on 10 September 2026 under the Northern Housing Consortium framework. The route was a selective procurement, specifically an award under a framework, and the call-off was non-competitive. The award and active contract are valued at £960,000 excluding VAT and £1,200,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029, with two individual 12-month renewal periods permitted and a maximum end date of 31 March 2031. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026. It was above the relevant threshold. The procurement is marked complete, and the award covers one lot.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the opportunity demonstrates a substantial, recurring requirement for stairlifts and lifting equipment from Solihull Community Housing Limited. A credible competitor would need to supply mechanical lifting equipment at housing-provider scale and demonstrate the operational capacity to support a multi-year arrangement, including any permitted renewal periods. The successful route also shows that access to the Northern Housing Consortium’s Stairlifts and Lifting Equipment Framework, or an equivalent framework route accepted by the buyer, is commercially important. Suppliers should therefore assess their framework position, public-sector housing experience, product range, delivery capacity and ability to manage requirements associated with stairlift and lifting-equipment provision before this buyer’s requirement next reaches the market.
