Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured works to replace the existing evacuation-designated passenger lift at St Augustine’s Community Centre, Derby, DE23 6LX. The requirement covers lift replacement and associated lift installation work, classified under CPV 42416100 for lifts and CPV 45313100 for lift installation. The work is for a public community facility and is delivered at the centre in Derby. The council is the buying organisation. This is a specialist building-services requirement for a lift contractor able to remove and replace an existing passenger lift, manage installation works in an occupied or community-use setting where required, and provide a functioning evacuation-designated lift as the completed outcome.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Derby City Council used an open procedure below the threshold under its open tendering process. The estimated procurement value was £105,000. The contract was awarded on 15 May 2026 to Morris Vermaport Ltd for £86,304.55. The awarded contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 21 March 2028, lasting 83 weeks. The original tender return deadline was 20 April 2026 at 12:00, and clarification questions were due by 2 April 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The recorded award is active and relates to the complete lift replacement requirement.

This procurement indicates demand from Derby City Council for specialist lift replacement and installation services in its community-building estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience replacing existing passenger lifts, installing evacuation-designated equipment and coordinating associated works through to operational completion. Relevant capability would include surveying the existing installation, planning removal and replacement, managing site logistics and sequencing, and demonstrating reliable delivery of lift installation works in a public-building environment. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist contractor with the necessary technical resources, delivery capacity and comparable project experience could be well placed. Suppliers should also be able to work to council procurement requirements and deliver a complete, compliant installation.
