Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Swindon Borough Council, focuses on the "Passenger Lift M&S Programme" under the services industry category. The programme involves repair and maintenance services, extending to the servicing, maintenance, replacement, and refurbishment of passenger lifts. This project covers all sites owned and operated by the council, located in the region UKK14. The procurement progressed through the Tender and Award stages, culminating in a contract signed on 12th February 2024. The initial contract term is set for 3 years with the potential to extend up to 7 years, and the programme represents a significant investment, with a total contract value of £1,585,336.00. The selection was made under the open procedure method, ensuring transparency and competition among providers.

This contract presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in technical testing, analysis, consultancy services, and lift installation work. With a considerable budget allocated over several years and potential for extension, businesses offering comprehensive lift servicing solutions can benefit significantly. Companies with a focus on large-scale projects involving statutory testing and adherence to regulations will find this contract particularly appealing. The opportunity to establish long-term relationships with a regional authority such as Swindon Borough Council can boost business growth and reputation in the public sector.

The modification is accelerating the contract spend with the Supplier, however the total spend will remain within the original total 7 year contract value. The nature and scope of the contract, including the CPV codes remain the same. The total 7 year contract value is not being exceeded but the 5 year (initial 3 and 2 year extension) value is being accelerated to reflect a 33% increase during the first 5 years, The contract will expire 30 April 2029 instead of 30 April 2031",

Justification: The modification is accelerating the contract spend with the Supplier, however the total spend will remain within the original 7 year total contract value. The nature and scope of the contract, including the CPV codes remain the same. 72 (1)(c) (iii) any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract Justification: The total 7 year contract value is not being exceeded but the 5 year (initial 3 and 2 year extension) value is being accelerated to reflect a 33% increase during the first 5 years. The contract will expire 30 April 2029 instead of 30 April 2031."
