Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Staffordshire County Council involves the awarding of a Framework Agreement for the Service and Maintenance of Passenger Lifts. This contract, valued at approximately £540,000 gross, encompasses the service only for various types of lifts across multiple locations, primarily in Staffordshire, with several sites extending to Cheshire, Lancashire, Derbyshire, Greater Manchester, and the West Midlands. The process follows an open procurement method, culminating in an award stage with a contract period starting from 1st October 2025 and potentially extending to 30th September 2029, inclusive of two optional one-year extensions. The contract is supported by several authorities, including Cannock Chase District Council, South Staffordshire District Council, Stafford Borough Council, and the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire, all situated in the region UKG24.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in lift maintenance services, particularly those suited to mid-size contract management. With a focus on comprehensive lift maintenance services, businesses equipped with third-party health and safety certifications and technical accreditations, specifically within sectors like educational facilities, residential care, and public service buildings, will find this tender particularly accessible. SMEs or service organisations ready to deliver a 24/7 callout capability, and those adept in areas such as electrical installations, lift servicing, and adherence to technical procurement standards, are well-poised to compete and expand within this public sector framework.
