Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council is procuring domestic lifts and ceiling track hoists as a goods supply requirement for use in Coventry. The scope covers supplying, installing, maintaining, repairing, removing, refurbishing and storing lifts and ceiling track hoists as required. The equipment category is lifts, hoists, escalators and moving walkways (CPV 42416000). The requirement is arranged as one lot and uses a framework agreement, so the appointed supplier will support the council’s requirements for this equipment and associated services. The work is relevant to businesses that can provide accessibility and mobility equipment alongside installation, planned and reactive maintenance, removal, refurbishment and storage services. The council is a sub-central public authority and the lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made, subject to a standstill period ending on 21 September 2026. Premier Mobility (UK) Limited was selected on 10 September 2026 after an open procedure. The award value is £4,260,000 excluding VAT, or £5,112,000 including VAT. The contract period is from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with one possible 24-month renewal extending the maximum period to 30 September 2030. The award is pending, with contract signature scheduled for 23 September 2026. There was one lot and two valid final-stage bids. Evaluation was based on price weighted at 80% and quality at 20%. The procurement was above the relevant threshold and bids could be submitted electronically in English.

This award demonstrates a substantial, repeat requirement from Coventry City Council for domestic lifts and ceiling track hoists, combining equipment supply with the full asset lifecycle: installation, maintenance, repair, removal, refurbishment and storage. A credible future competitor would therefore need dependable access to suitable lift and hoist products, competent installation capability, planned and reactive maintenance capacity, and the ability to manage removed or refurbished equipment securely. Experience coordinating several service activities for a public authority would strengthen a bid, as would documented quality controls and sufficient operational capacity to respond to the council’s requirements. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, and the two valid bids show that smaller specialist suppliers can compete. Future competition would be assessed principally on price, while retaining a material quality component.
