Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the replacement of a passenger lift at Ysgol Bryn Alyn in Wrexham, scheduled under JCT Intermediate Building Contract 2024. The procurement method employed was an open competition below the threshold, starting from the initial tender phase posted in November 2025, leading to a contract award signed on 29 January 2026. The work commenced on 5 February 2026 and is set to reach completion by 28 August 2026. Axel-Elex Ltd T/A Curti Lifts, located in Bradford, was awarded the contract to execute lift installation and related works, including building and electrical modifications.
