Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured authorised engineering services for lifts. The requirement is a safety consultancy service covering lift-related engineering support, with delivery at the Trust’s premises in Worthing, West Sussex, and elsewhere in England. The buying organisation is Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, based at Portland House, Richmond Road, Worthing. The procurement is categorised as services and is described under CPV 79417000, safety consultancy services. The named requirement is “Authorised Engineers – Lifts”, indicating a specialist role concerned with the safety oversight, inspection or engineering assurance of lift installations. This opportunity is relevant to firms that provide authorised lift engineering and safety consultancy services to NHS or other public-sector estates, particularly those able to support sites in Worthing and across England.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure below the threshold. The tender submission deadline was 13 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to ILECS Limited on 22 May 2026 for £21,677.25 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 30 June 2026 to 29 June 2029. ILECS Limited is the selected supplier, and its award is recorded as active. The published requirement covered one service item. The procurement was evaluated through the stated open-procedure route; the available details do not set out separate quality or price weightings. The Trust’s published suitability classification marks the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, despite the selected supplier being recorded as an SME.

This award provides a clear indication of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust’s demand for specialist lift safety consultancy and authorised engineering support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in lift engineering assurance and the ability to act in an authorised engineering capacity for safety-critical equipment. It would also need sufficient operational capacity to support NHS premises in Worthing and potentially other locations across England, while maintaining reliable technical coverage throughout a multi-year service arrangement. The selected supplier’s profile shows that an SME delivered the requirement, although the procurement’s suitability classification did not designate it as SME-suitable. Firms with relevant lift-sector experience, established safety consultancy processes, and the resources to provide sustained public-sector support would be best placed to assess similar demand from this Trust.
