Summary of the contracting process

Walsall College procured works to replace its ageing passenger lifts and install new equipment across three campuses in Walsall. The scope covers five new lifts at the Wisemore campus, two at Green Lane and one at Broadway, making eight new passenger lift installations in total. The project addresses lifts that have reached the end of their operational life and have become unreliable, with frequent breakdowns, high reactive maintenance costs and extended downtime. It forms part of the College’s capital investment programme and supports improvements to estate condition, accessibility, health and safety and business continuity. The procurement is primarily lift installation and refurbishment work, with associated lift-maintenance services, lift components and overhaul or refurbishment activities. The delivery location is Walsall, England.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. The tender closed on 28 May 2026, and the contract period ran from 29 May 2026 to 18 September 2026. Walsall College awarded the contract to Creative Lifts Ltd on 13 August 2026. The awarded value was £273,845. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement was treated as works and covered the replacement and installation requirement across Wisemore, Green Lane and Broadway campuses. The published process used an open competition, allowing eligible suppliers to submit responses. The tender status is complete and the award is active. The award was made to a single supplier for the lift upgrade project.

This award indicates demand from Walsall College for specialist lift contractors able to deliver multiple passenger-lift replacements across an education estate. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in lift installation, refurbishment, overhaul and the supply or integration of lift parts, together with the capacity to coordinate work across three campuses. Experience of replacing unreliable, end-of-life equipment in occupied or operational college buildings would be relevant, particularly where accessibility, health and safety and business continuity are important outcomes. Suppliers should be able to manage a multi-installation programme, control disruption and support reliable handover and ongoing maintenance. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a capable independent lift business or specialist contractor could be well placed, provided it can resource the full requirement and demonstrate dependable delivery.
