Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Plus Dane Housing Ltd commissioned lift servicing and maintenance services for its housing operations. The requirement covers the ongoing servicing and maintenance of lifts, classified as lift-maintenance services (CPV 50750000). Delivery is across the North West of England, with the buying organisation based in Liverpool. This is a services contract rather than a supply of equipment or construction works. The appointed provider is Rubax Lifts Ltd, a large lift-services business based in Warrington. The opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations with the operational capability to maintain and service lifts across a regional housing portfolio, rather than to general facilities management firms without specialist lift engineering capacity.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Rubax Lifts Ltd on 31 July 2026. The awarded value is £223,680.02. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. Plus Dane Housing Ltd used a tender process for the requirement, which has a complete status. The contract covers the full lift servicing and maintenance requirement across the North West rather than separate lots or separately reported awards. The procurement records the service as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises, but not suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Rubax Lifts Ltd is the sole named supplier and the award is active.

This award demonstrates established demand from a housing provider for specialist lift servicing and maintenance across a regional operating area. A credible future competitor would need the engineering workforce, systems and field-service capacity to maintain lifts reliably across multiple housing locations, supported by appropriate experience in planned servicing and responsive maintenance. The successful supplier’s scale indicates that the requirement is suited to an organisation able to coordinate regional coverage, manage recurring visits and respond to faults, rather than a small local operator working on isolated installations. Voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable, so an organisation in that sector with demonstrable lift-maintenance capability could be relevant when this type of requirement returns.
