Summary of the contracting process

East Lothian Council has completed the procurement process for the "Lift Servicing and Maintenance" contract, under the APUC Framework Supply of Goods and Services EFM1052 AP. This service contract, classified under the industry category for lift-maintenance services with the CPV code 50750000, is located in East Lothian, region UKM73. The contract was awarded to RJ Lifts Group Limited as of 6th October 2025, with an award value of £360,000. The procurement method was direct award, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to its classification as outside the directive's scope, ensuring compliance with the legal basis 32014L0024.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in lift maintenance and servicing. Companies with the capability to deliver robust lift-maintenance services could greatly benefit from engaging in such frameworks, particularly those that can offer value through their social, economic, and environmental contributions in line with the community benefits requirement. Larger scale lift maintenance businesses, such as RJ Lifts Group Limited, who successfully secured the contract, are evidently well-suited to fulfilling the comprehensive needs specified by East Lothian Council, enabling strong business growth within the public sector infrastructure domain.
