## Summary

Housing 21 procured lift replacement works at Irene Astor Court. The requirement was classified as lift installation work and falls within the construction and building-services market. Housing 21 is the buying organisation. Delivery was in England; the procurement identifies no more precise location than the English region. The work centred on replacing a lift at the named court, rather than supplying general lift maintenance or equipment across a wider estate. This is relevant to lift contractors able to undertake replacement and installation works for a housing provider, particularly those experienced in working at residential buildings. The stated scope is a single lift-replacement requirement at one named site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Liftworks Limited. Housing 21 used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 15 June 2026 and ran from 22 June to 14 August 2026. Its value was £250,890 excluding VAT (£301,068 including VAT). The award is active and relates to one lot. The available procurement details identify no evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing suppliers were assessed cannot be described. The award establishes the selected supplier and the completed contract period for this lift replacement; it does not represent an unawarded opportunity.

For suppliers assessing future lift-replacement work for Housing 21, this award shows demand for a substantial, site-specific replacement project delivered by a specialist lift contractor. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to remove and replace lifts in a residential setting, plan installation and associated works, and manage delivery to a defined programme. The selected contractor was a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that this requirement was within the reach of an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large national contractor. Suppliers should be able to evidence relevant lift installation and replacement experience, suitable delivery capacity and the ability to compete through a limited-competition route. The procurement provides a direct example of Housing 21 buying lift replacement works at a named court.
