BHTA members involved in stairlifts, domestic lifts, hoists, and associated servicing are encouraged to review a new tender opportunity from Cardiff Community Housing Association (CCHA).
CCHA is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to provide planned preventative maintenance, responsive repairs, and emergency breakdown attendance for specialist lifting and mobility equipment installed within tenants’ homes and communal areas.

This tender is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs able to provide servicing, maintenance, repairs, and emergency breakdown support for specialist lifting and mobility equipment.

BHTA members involved in stairlifts, platform lifts, through-floor lifts, ceiling track hoists, and related installation and maintenance services are encouraged to review this new framework opportunity from Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO).
YPO intends to appoint suppliers to a framework agreement for public sector customers, where end customers will place orders directly with suppliers, who will deliver and provide services direct to the end customer.
YPO is establishing a national framework for the supply, installation, and ongoing support of stairlifts and other lifting equipment, alongside associated servicing, maintenance, and refurbishment activity across the UK. The framework is designed for use by YPO and other contracting authorities.
This is an open procedure to establish a framework agreement.
The framework covers the supply and installation of new equipment, as well as supporting services including servicing, maintenance, removal, storage, refurbishment, and re-siting of equipment (including arrangements under the original manufacturer’s warranty, where applicable). It also includes service and maintenance for equipment that is no longer under the manufacturer’s warranty.
The framework is structured across supply and installation lots, plus service and maintenance sub-lots, and a multi-lot call-off option for customers with more than one requirement.
The notice indicates that suppliers may only apply for sub-lots 7.1 to 7.6 if they have applied for (and are successful on) lots 1 to 6. Suppliers awarded all lots and sub-lots may be automatically added to the multi-lot (lot 8), unless they opt out.
This tender is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises, as well as larger providers, that can supply and install the relevant equipment and deliver associated service and maintenance requirements.
Evaluation weighting (framework establishment, lots 1 to 6): quality (including delivery and customer service) 50 percent, cost 30 percent, and social value and sustainability 20 percent.
For service and maintenance sub-lots (7.1 to 7.6) and the multi-lot call-off (lot 8), the notice lists cost, quality, and social value, and sustainability as the criteria, but does not specify weightings.
Submit your tender electronically via the YPO supplier portal.
Tenders must be submitted by 12pm on 26 March 2026. Enquiries should be submitted by 12pm on 12 March 2026.
