This project falls within the engineering works and construction industry. The procurement method used was "limited," indicative of a below-threshold competition, aiming to promote a selective approach in sourcing suppliers. The process is now in the award stage, having begun with tender initiation, and the contract period commences on 17th September 2025, concluding on 2nd February 2026. The tender was awarded on 11th September 2025, with a total contract value of GBP 327,113 to Unite Lift Services Limited, a large supplier based in Chatham.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on construction and engineering, particularly those specialising in modernising lift systems and handling equipment. Suppliers who have capabilities in project management, installation, design, and integration are well-suited for similar future projects. The selective nature of the competition ensures that companies proposing innovative solutions with rigorous safety and compliance standards have the potential to gain a competitive edge. Moreover, such contracts provide exposure to collaborations with public authorities like the NHS, which could lead to further business opportunities and long-term partnerships.
