Summary of the contracting process

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council has concluded the procurement process for lift maintenance services required at its corporate buildings in Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the services industry category and follows an open procedure. The contract, which is under the jurisdiction of legislation UKPGA 2023/54, was awarded on 20th April 2026 to Omega Citylifts Services Ltd for a three-year period with the possibility of a two-year extension. The procurement process transitioned from the tender stage initiated on 28th October 2025, with the tender period closing on 5th December 2025, leading to the completion stage with the contract being signed on the award date itself.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in lift servicing, breakdown, and repair, particularly those that can deliver high-quality service alongside competitive pricing. With £200,000 allocated, it accommodates businesses with a robust infrastructure due to its above-threshold nature. Competitive tenders were pursued with an evaluation criterion of 60% Price and 40% Quality, demonstrating the importance of both cost-efficiency and service excellence. Omega Citylifts Services Ltd, a large-scale supplier, secured this procurement, highlighting the council's commitment to partnering with experienced firms for maintenance tasks crucial to the Council's operations. Businesses looking to expand in public sector contracts should possess the requisite expertise in lift maintenance, with capabilities to meet stringent participation conditions and quality standards outlined in the tender documents.
