Leading lift specialist, Stannah, has been reappointed to CHIC’s (Communities & Housing Investment Consortium) Lifts & Mobility Aids Framework for a second consecutive term.
This achievement, says Stannah, reinforces its commitment to delivering safe, reliable, and high-quality access solutions across the housing sector. The previous four-year framework, which commenced 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.
Stannah has been awarded as a supplier for both Lots of the framework:
- 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.
Speaking on the contract, Paul Baylis, National Contracts Manager at Stannah, said: “We are delighted to be reappointed to CHIC’s Lifts & Mobility Aids Framework. Securing both Lots reflects our continued focus on delivering safe, reliable, and high-quality solutions. Our priority is ensuring long-term performance through responsive servicing and maintenance, helping CHIC members keep their equipment safe, compliant, and operational.
