Summary of the contracting process

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR), a public authority within central government, has awarded a contract for the "Review of Lifts and Escalators Asset Management" to LECS (UK) LTD. Located in London, GB, the ORR aimed to assess Network Rail's governance in managing lifts and escalators. This procurement process followed an open method, falling below the threshold for open competition. The tender entered its award stage as of 3rd December 2025, with the contract signed on 25th November 2025 and active until 23rd February 2026. Focused on building consultancy services, this contract holds an overall value up to £60,000, addressing consultancy needs pertinent to industry processes and compliance. Throughout the process, ORR encouraged submissions via electronic methods, accommodating small and medium-sized enterprises with a procurement approach emphasising quality at 70% and price at 30%.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for consultancy businesses specialising in asset management and building consultancy services. Small and medium enterprises, particularly those with experience in infrastructure governance within the rail sector, stand to gain from this procurement cycle. The contract’s relatively modest scope also positions it as a fitting project for businesses seeking to expand their portfolios within governmental frameworks without exceeding typical competitive thresholds. In light of the completion stage, future similar opportunities may surface, offering consultant firms a chance to refine their approaches and take advantage of public sector procurement activities to bolster their growth and market presence.
