About

The Council is seeking a supplier for passenger lift maintenance services. Bidders must follow the information and guidance in the tender documents, adhere to word-count limits, respond to all questions, and note that additional or unnecessary documents will be disregarded; there is a timeline for questions and submission dates and questions with responses will be made available to all bidders unless marked private and confidential. Suppliers must confirm their intention to participate by opting in (or opt out if they choose). The target contract commencement date is 1 April 2026 and the contract term is three years with two optional one-year extensions (+1+1).

Insight

This could be ideal for specialist passenger lift maintenance contractors able to meet the target start date of 1 April 2026 and comfortable with strict submission rules. Key considerations include strict word-count limits, the requirement to answer all tender questions, that additional documents will be disregarded, and that Q&A responses may be shared with all bidders unless confidential.
