Summary of the contracting process

DN Colleges Group is procuring lift and escalator servicing and maintenance across Doncaster College, North Lindsey College and University Campus North Lincolnshire. The requirement covers planned preventative maintenance, routine servicing, reactive repairs, emergency breakdown support and, where authorised, refurbishment of the Group’s lift and escalator assets. This is a facilities engineering and vertical-transport maintenance service, classified under CPV 50750000 for lift-maintenance services. The procurement is split between lift-related equipment and escalator-related equipment, allowing suppliers to focus on the asset type they support. The buying organisation is DN Colleges Group, based in Doncaster, and delivery is required across its named college and university campus sites.

The process has reached tender: DN Colleges Group invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 21 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend by two further 12-month periods. Its stated value is £125,000 in GBP. There are two lots: Lot 1 covers lifts and related equipment, while Lot 2 covers escalators and related equipment. Suppliers may tender for one or both lots. Each lot will be evaluated and awarded independently, so a bid can be targeted at either service area or both.

This opportunity suits experienced lift and escalator maintenance contractors able to provide planned servicing alongside responsive repair and emergency breakdown cover. Suppliers should be able to maintain both types of vertical-transport equipment, or concentrate on either lifts or escalators depending on the lot they pursue. The requirement also favours businesses with the technical capability and operational capacity to support assets across three further-education and higher-education locations, including out-of-hours response to breakdowns and authorised refurbishment work. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist regional maintenance firms as well as larger contractors.
