Summary of the contracting process

City of York Council is procuring access lift installation, servicing and maintenance works, with associated lift-maintenance services. The requirement covers installing lifts and keeping them serviced and maintained for the council. The main category is construction and installation work, combined with ongoing maintenance services. The council is the public-sector buyer, based in York, and the services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide both installation capability and continuing maintenance support rather than a one-off installation-only service. The requirement may suit lift contractors, building-services specialists and maintenance providers with the operational capability to manage customer-facing access lift services for a public authority.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. Questions could be submitted until 16 October 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 11 January 2027 to 10 January 2030, with an optional extension of up to two further years, in one-year increments. Its estimated value is £3.6 million excluding VAT, or £4.5 million including VAT. Evaluation is based on price at 40% and quality at 60%. Quality covers customer satisfaction and complaint management, preventing issues, customer communication, health and safety, capacity, project delivery, and social value and environmental responsibility. The award decision was due by 27 November 2026.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to combine access lift installation with planned servicing, maintenance and responsive management over a multi-year public-sector contract. Strong candidates will need to demonstrate reliable customer service, complaint handling and clear communication with customers, alongside an approach that prevents faults and other service issues. The evaluation also rewards a credible health and safety approach, sufficient operational capacity and effective project delivery, so the requirement is likely to suit established lift contractors or specialist maintenance businesses with dependable field resources and contract-management capability. Suppliers should also be prepared to explain how they will deliver social value and environmental responsibility. The stated suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises means smaller specialist firms may be well placed to compete, provided they can support the full installation and ongoing maintenance scope.
