Summary of the contracting process

The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe has awarded a contract for "Mobility Lift Servicing, Maintenance and Associated Works" under an open competition, below threshold procurement method. The contract, valued at £145,000 with a gross amount of £174,000, concerns the maintenance and repair of mobility lift equipment across 61 domestic stairlift sites and 2 'through floor' lift sites, servicing both public and private spaces within the UKJ44 region. The contract, awarded to Triple S Lift Services Limited on 9th December 2025, extends over a period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with potential extensions up to 24 months, depending on the supplier's performance and the council's evolving requirements.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the lift maintenance industry or those with capabilities in servicing and maintaining stairlifts and lift equipment. Companies with a strong track record in quality service provision and competitive pricing will find themselves well-suited to such opportunities given the evaluation based on 70% quality and 30% price criteria. The original tender attracted seven bids, out of which six were from SMEs, highlighting a competitive atmosphere conducive for well-placed smaller businesses to thrive and expand within public sector contracts.
