## Summary

The Wealden District Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of maintenance services for stairlifts, overhead hoists, and through floor lifts, known as the "ESPH SB Stairlifts, Overhead Hoists and Through Floor Lifts (ESPH427)" contract. This project falls under the broader category of services and was initiated as an open tendering process. The contract, which is now awarded to Southern Mobility Centres Ltd, has an initial five-year term starting from 1st September 2021, with potential extensions bringing the total maximum length to ten years. The contract aims to serve the Council’s portfolio of over 3,000 properties located predominantly in rural areas of East Sussex, with a budget of £336,000.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in mobility solutions and lift maintenance services. Firms focused on providing servicing and installations for accessibility equipment would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar contracts, especially those that cater to vulnerable groups such as disabled residents. Given the emphasis on long-term partnerships and the Council’s commitment to maintaining a high standard of living for their tenants, suppliers who can demonstrate expertise, reliability, and a track record in the healthcare and mobility sector stand to benefit from such procurement opportunities.

## Notice

Wealden District Council (the Council) sought to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to provide servicing and provision of stairlifts, overhead hoists and through floor lifts. The Council owns and directly manages just over 3000 properties throughout a predominantly rural area of 320 sq miles. Just over 500 of the council properties are designated as sheltered housing and are contained within 11 separate schemes. The remaining properties are designated as general needs housing and are a mix of traditional houses, bungalows and low rise flats. These properties are managed by the Council's Housing Service. Amongst the services that are provided to our tenants are the provision of disabled adaptions, including stairlifts, hoists and through floor lifts to facilitate access within properties for disabled residents. The Property Services Team wishes to procure a new long term contractor to provide this specialist service in relation to stairlifts, through floor lifts and hoists. The contract shall last for an initial term of 5 years with options for a 3 year extension followed by an additional 2 year extension. Total maximum contract length of 10 years.
