Summary of the contracting process

The University of South Wales has completed an open procurement process for the Provision of Lift Inspection, Servicing, Maintenance, and Call Out Services, resulting in a contract awarded to Cardiff Lift Company. The contract, valued at £1,736,000 gross (£1,436,000 net), commenced on 1st May 2026 and is set to conclude on 30th April 2029, with the option of three annual extensions. This service provision encompasses statutory inspections, scheduled maintenance, and emergency call-out services across several sites in the UK, specifically in regions UKL15, UKL21, and UKL22. Cardiff Lift Company, an SME, will supply these services under Welsh devolved regulations, having successfully navigated a competitive tender process that prioritised service quality and reliability.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the lift maintenance industry, especially those capable of delivering comprehensive and prompt inspection and repair services. SMEs specialising in lift-maintenance services can particularly benefit, as the process favoured smaller enterprises during the final stage. The contract tenure, along with renewal options, offers stability and potential long-term business relationships. Companies with robust experience and capacity to manage the operational requirements of diverse campus facilities would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders from public authorities looking to enhance their service efficiency and maintenance responsiveness.
