Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council sought to procure a consultancy service for lifts under tender CPU 7400, classified under the industry categories of lifts and technical services. Based in Nottingham, UKF14, the council aimed to engage an independent consultancy with expertise in elevators, escalators, and access equipment management. Although originally scheduled to close on 18 September 2025 and expected to proceed with an award by 24 September 2025, the procurement process was cancelled on 4 September 2025 due to alignment with revised priorities. The procurement, initially conducted through an open procedure, was designed as a service contract valued at £220,000.

This procurement presented growth opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in lift management and technical services, especially those collaborating with architects on innovative lift solutions. It was particularly suited for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), thus encouraging a competitive environment for smaller and community-focused organisations. Despite the cancellation, businesses with relevant expertise are advised to look out for future opportunities that the council plans to issue to meet its strategic objectives.
