Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured works to refurbish two existing passenger lifts, identified as lifts 2 and 3, at the Council House on Corporation Street in Derby. The requirement covers lift refurbishment, associated lift installation work and lift-maintenance services. It is a building and engineering works contract intended to restore and improve the performance of existing passenger-lift infrastructure within a council-operated civic building. Delivery is at the Council House, Derby, DE1 2FS. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is relevant to lift manufacturers, specialist lift refurbishment contractors, lift installation businesses and maintenance providers with the capability to work on existing passenger lifts in an occupied public-sector building.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure described as below threshold under the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024. The award was made on 12 June 2026 to Concept Elevators (UK) Ltd for £180,719.20, inclusive of the stated currency GBP. The original estimated contract value was £260,000. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 23 May 2028, lasting 85 weeks. The tender return deadline was 22 May 2026 at 12:00, with clarification questions due by 1 May 2026 at 12:00 and documentation access by 21 May 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was categorised as works and identified as suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Derby City Council for specialist refurbishment of existing passenger lifts, rather than supply of new standalone equipment. Businesses positioned for a future requirement of this type would need practical capability in diagnosing, modernising and installing lift systems, together with the ability to provide associated maintenance services. Relevant suppliers would include lift contractors with competent engineering teams, experience working on public or commercial buildings, and the capacity to manage refurbishment works through to reliable operational performance. The award to Concept Elevators (UK) Ltd, identified as an SME, indicates that a specialist smaller business can be a credible competitor for this scale of council lift work. Contractors should be able to coordinate safely on an existing civic-building site and demonstrate robust delivery and maintenance arrangements.
