Summary of the contracting process

SCS JV is seeking a supplier for approximately nine temporary gantry cranes for work in London. The requirement covers the complete crane lifecycle: design, manufacture, fabrication, supply, installation and maintenance. This is a specialist crane and lifting-equipment services opportunity, including mobile lifting frames and related crane works. The cranes are intended to provide temporary lifting capability, with the supplier responsible for delivering and maintaining the equipment rather than only supplying finished units. The opportunity is relevant to crane manufacturers, heavy lifting contractors, engineering firms and equipment providers able to combine design and fabrication expertise with site installation and ongoing maintenance. It is classified under CPV 42414000, with cranes as an additional classification.

The procurement reached the tender stage: SCS JV invited suppliers to submit offers through a tender procedure. The buyer set the submission deadline at 14:19 on 17 August 2026. The contract is planned to run from 27 May 2027 to 15 December 2033. Its estimated value is between £2.5 million and £5 million, in total for the requirement. The procurement is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published requirement covers approximately nine cranes, rather than separate lots. Suppliers should assess the tender requirements for the basis on which offers will be evaluated and the arrangements for submitting their bids.

This opportunity suits an SME or larger specialist supplier with the capacity to take end-to-end responsibility for temporary gantry cranes. Relevant capability includes crane and lifting-equipment design, structural and mechanical engineering, manufacture, fabrication, equipment supply, installation and planned maintenance. Competitors are likely to need the resources to coordinate several stages of delivery and support approximately nine cranes over a multi-year service period. Experience in temporary works, site-based installation and maintaining lifting equipment would be directly applicable. The requirement is particularly suited to businesses that can provide an integrated engineering and maintenance service, rather than firms limited to equipment resale or a single construction activity. Suppliers able to manage design through operational support should consider pursuing it.
