Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Independence C I C bought external mechanical access lifts, described as platform lifts, for its Lot 11 requirement. This is a lift installation works contract. The intended delivery area covered the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. The buyer is Independence C I C, based in Plymouth. The procurement description is limited to an external platform lift; it does not identify a particular site or provide further technical specifications in the contracting details. The requirement is therefore relevant to lift suppliers and contractors able to provide external platform or step lifts, with the delivery reach extending beyond the UK.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to the selected supplier, whose name is not available in the published award details. The award is recorded as active and dated 7 July 2025. The tender deadline was 7 July 2025 at 5pm. The contract period runs from 20 to 21 May 2026. The tender estimated value was £37,061.46; the award value is recorded as £0, so the awarded contract amount is not established by the award data. The tender was divided into lots, and this award concerns Lot 11, for external mechanical access lifts. The procurement is marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No procedure or evaluation basis is stated in the available details.

This award shows that Independence C I C buys external mechanical access lifts, including platform or step lifts, through a lot-based works procurement. A credible competitor for a repeat of this requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to supply and install external access lifts and deliver the work across the buyer’s stated geographic reach. The published suitability information expressly includes SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers of those types are within the intended supplier pool. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, demonstrating that a smaller specialist provider can meet the buyer’s requirement. Lift manufacturers, specialist installers and contractors able to coordinate both equipment and installation are the most directly relevant businesses for this buyer’s requirement. The award gives no further technical or accreditation criteria.
