Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sunderland recently completed a procurement process titled "Edinburgh Lift Modernisation," aimed at refurbishing an electric traction passenger lift, including all related construction work. The contracting authority, a sub-central government public authority, is based in Gateshead, United Kingdom. The procurement, classified under the "works" category, has now reached the award stage. Utilizing the open procedure method, the entire process saw significant competition, with three bids submitted. The final award was made to Jackson Lift Services on 5th February 2026, with the contract valued at £206,500.8. The contract period is set to commence on 2nd March 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2026, with the work taking place in the UKC23 region.

This procurement process presents lucrative opportunities for businesses involved in lift and escalator installation work, particularly those specialising in modernisation and refurbishment projects. The competitive open procedure allows small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to successfully compete and potentially secure significant public contracts. Companies that offer high-quality lift refurbishment services and can demonstrate good value for money stand to benefit greatly from participating in such tenders. By leveraging similar opportunities, businesses can not only increase their revenue but also bolster their experience and reputation within the public sector market.
