Summary of the contracting process

Independence C I C procured external platform lifts, including step lifts. The work is classified as construction works and concerns the supply or installation of external mechanical access lifts. The listed delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and other parts of the world. This indicates a geographically broad requirement rather than a single named delivery site. The buyer is Independence C I C, based in Plymouth. The procurement title identifies this as Lot 11 of the ARMI dynamic purchasing system, focused on external mechanical access lifts.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to a supplier identified in the data as a company, but its name is not provided. The award was made on 21 April 2023. The stated award value is £0, while the tender estimate was £31,478.97; these are separate figures and the award value should not be read as a confirmed contract price. The contract period ran from 26 September 2023 to 28 February 2024. The procurement was part of a dynamic purchasing system and was divided into lots; this award relates to external mechanical access lifts. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable. No evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows that Independence C I C procures external platform lifts, including step lifts, through the ARMI dynamic purchasing system. The requirement is relevant to lift manufacturers, specialist access-lift installers and firms able to deliver external mechanical lift work across a broad geographical footprint. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the technical ability to supply and install suitable external platform lifts, together with the capacity to coordinate delivery across the locations covered by the requirement. The buyer’s stated suitability for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises suggests that smaller specialist firms can be relevant competitors. The selected supplier’s name and the evaluation basis are not available in the process data, so the award does not establish particular qualifications or experience as selection requirements.
