Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue procured lift maintenance and replacement lift supply services for eleven sites across South Yorkshire, including eight operational fire stations. The requirement covers planned, preventative and reactive maintenance for lift equipment of varied ages, conditions and manufacturing origins, together with replacement lifts when required. This is a public-sector facilities maintenance opportunity focused on keeping critical lift assets operational across a regional emergency-services estate. The buying organisation is South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, based in Sheffield. The main service category is lift-maintenance services (CPV 50750000). The requirement is classified as a service and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 8 September 2026 to Axel Elex Ltd trading as Curti Lifts. The award value is £164,993, with the procurement’s estimated range stated as £6,000 to £164,993. The contract runs from 19 October 2026 to 17 October 2029. It was conducted as a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 18 August 2026 at 12:00. The selected supplier is a single SME. The award covers the full lift maintenance and replacement-lift requirement for the South Yorkshire sites. The published outcome therefore records the buyer’s chosen supplier, agreed value and delivery period rather than an opportunity for further bids.

For a supplier assessing future work from South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, this award demonstrates demand for a capable lift specialist able to support a dispersed operational estate, including fire stations where equipment availability is important. Credible competitors would need to deliver planned servicing, preventative maintenance and responsive repairs across lift assets with different ages, conditions and manufacturers. They would also need the technical capability, supply arrangements and installation capacity to provide replacement lifts when required, rather than only routine maintenance. The buyer has shown that an SME can deliver this type of requirement through a framework call-off. Relevant experience in public-sector or other safety-critical environments, dependable response arrangements, multi-site coordination and the ability to manage varied lift equipment would strengthen a future competing offer.
