Summary of the contracting process

Tendring District Council procured lift servicing and maintenance for its owned assets in Tendring, in the East of England. The requirement covers routine servicing, maintenance, repairs and related installation work for lifts, including mechanical lifts and stairlifts. It is a services contract focused on keeping council-owned lifting equipment operational and maintained. The scope is relevant to lift maintenance contractors, specialist access-equipment providers and businesses able to support both standard lifts and stairlifts. Suppliers serving public-sector property portfolios, housing assets or other managed buildings may find the requirement particularly comparable, provided they can deliver the necessary maintenance and repair services across the council’s assets.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 May 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 1 July 2026 to Stannah Lifting Services Limited for £137,500. The awarded contract period runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2029. The wider requirement allowed an initial three-year term with an option to extend for a further two years, with the published procurement period running to 5 July 2031. The process was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award record identifies one active award and one supplier; no separate evaluation weighting or award criteria are stated.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for planned lift servicing, maintenance and repair across a council-owned asset base in Tendring. A future competitor would need credible capability across mechanical lifts and stairlifts, together with the capacity to provide routine servicing, responsive repairs and associated installation work. Experience of maintaining equipment across multiple public buildings or managed property assets would help demonstrate operational reliability. Suppliers should also be able to work within a framework call-off route and manage a multi-year council service relationship. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist independent lift or accessibility-equipment maintenance business could be well placed, either independently or through a framework position.
