## Summary

The Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council has completed a procurement process for LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) testing, service, and maintenance of bath lifts and hoists, which are used in the community. This tender, titled "LOLER Testing Hoists and Slings," falls under the industry category of lifts, skip hoists, escalators, and moving walkways, with additional focus on installation services of lifting and handling equipment. The procurement was conducted as a selective call-off from the Northern Housing Consortium's framework, particularly under Lot 2.2. The contract, awarded to Prism UK Medical Ltd on 28th February 2025, commences on 1st March 2025 and concludes by 28th February 2026, covering the region of West Midlands, UK. The initial value is set at £180,000 GBP.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in lifting services and equipment maintenance. Given its value and scope, it is particularly suitable for SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) seeking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts. With the procurement already awarded to a large company, Prism UK Medical Ltd, there are possibilities for subcontracting and collaboration for smaller businesses within the stipulated contract period, especially those experienced in the specified regulatory testing and maintenance services in the West Midlands region.
