## Summary

Rochdale Borough Council has procured stairlifts and lifting equipment for its housing services. The requirement covers equipment in the lifts and hoists category (CPV 42416000). The appointment is described as covering stairlifts and lifting equipment for 2026–2030. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified in the available procurement details. The purchase was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Stairlifts and Lifting Equipment Framework, rather than as a standalone open competition. This is relevant to suppliers of stairlifts, lifting equipment and associated supply services able to serve a local authority housing requirement.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Rochdale Borough Council selected Simply Moving and Sleeping Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise, under a selective route through the Northern Housing Consortium framework. The award was made on 18 September 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract value is £375,000 excluding VAT (£450,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two possible 12-month renewal periods and a maximum extent to 30 September 2031. The process comprised one lot. No award-scoring criteria are recorded; the appointment was made under the framework.

This award shows Rochdale Borough Council’s demand for stairlifts and lifting equipment to support its housing services, purchased through the Northern Housing Consortium framework. Suppliers positioning for a comparable future requirement should be able to supply suitable stairlifts and lifting equipment and meet the delivery needs of a borough council housing service. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this framework-based requirement was not limited to a large supplier. Credibility will depend on being able to operate within the framework route and provide the relevant equipment at a contract scale suited to a multi-year local authority requirement. Businesses focused on unrelated lifting systems or services without stairlift and housing-sector supply capability are less directly aligned with this procurement.
