Stannah, a leader in the UK lift sector, has announced its successful reappointment to CHIC’s (Communities & Housing Investment Consortium) Lifts & Mobility Aids Framework for a second consecutive term.
This achievement reinforces Stannah’s commitment to delivering safe, reliable, and high-quality access solutions across the housing sector. The previous four-year framework, which began in 2021, supported thousands of locations across the UK and enabled the delivery of essential lift and mobility services nationwide.
Running until 2029, CHIC’s framework provides installation, maintenance, and repair services for lifts, stairlifts, and hoists to member housing associations, local authorities, and public sector bodies nationwide. Acting as a centralised procurement tool, it ensures improved access to specialised works and continuity for members.
As part of the new framework, Stannah has been awarded as a supplier for both Lots, ensuring comprehensive coverage for passenger lifts and mobility aids:
Lot 1 – Passenger Lifts: Providing a full range of installation and refurbishment services for passenger and goods lifts across the UK. This includes installation, modernisation, and refurbishment to meet the latest Lift Regulations, DDA, and current safety standards.
Lot 2 – Mobility Aids: Installation and servicing of stairlifts, step lifts, platform lifts, through-floor lifts, patient hoists, and similar equipment.
Stannah brings 150+ years of expertise to the framework, providing new lift installation services through both its home accessibility and new lifts businesses, and maintenance and repair via its extensive nationwide branch service network. The broad range of mobility solutions the Stannah Group provides ensures that homes and communal spaces remain safe, accessible, and compliant with the latest standards.
Reappointed followed a rigorous tendering process, demonstrating Stannah’s proven ability to deliver high-quality services that meet the needs of housing providers across the UK. Through the CHIC Lifts & Mobility Aids Framework, Stannah will play a key role in supporting the effective delivery of crucial works and services for CHIC members, helping maintain accessibility and safety for all residents.
