Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire New University is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the service and maintenance of lifts and disabled access hoists across its campuses, halls of residence, and conference centre. Situated in High Wycombe, England, the University aims to initiate this contract on 1st August 2025, spanning an initial three-year period, with an optional extension of up to two years, subject to performance reviews. This procurement falls under the industry category of lifts, identified by the CPV classification code 42416100. It will be conducted using an open procedure, with the estimated contract value ranging between £140,000 and £160,000, excluding VAT. The process is well-suited for SMEs, with key communication also planned by the end of March 2025, and the budgeting period set from April 2024 to March 2025. The University's High Wycombe address is HP11 2JZ.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in lift services and maintenance to secure a long-term contract with a reputable educational institution. Its open procurement method invites a broad range of qualified suppliers to participate, particularly those capable of meeting the specified service visit requirements. The potential extension of the contract provides added business stability and growth potential, especially for small and medium enterprises. Having a strong operational presence in High Wycombe or its vicinity could be advantageous, given the geographical focus of the service requirements.
