Summary of the contracting process

LiveWest Homes Limited procured lift replacement works at four residential locations: Cherry Gardens, Chirgwin Court, Chisholme Court and Penameyne Court. The requirement covers lifting and handling equipment, construction work and, specifically, the installation of replacement lifts. The work is for LiveWest’s housing properties in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Exeter. The procurement is categorised as works and was divided across the four named locations. Each location was treated as a separate lot, allowing suppliers to target individual sites or the wider requirement. This is relevant to lift manufacturers, lift installation contractors, building-services firms and construction businesses able to undertake replacement lift works in occupied or residential housing settings.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were submitted electronically, with a deadline of 16 January 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Each location had an estimated gross value of £100,000. Northern Elevator Limited was awarded Cherry Gardens, Chirgwin Court and Penameyne Court for £299,000 gross on 23 March 2026, with a contract period from 7 September 2026 to 25 January 2027. The same supplier was awarded Chisholme Court for £84,700 gross on 6 August 2026, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 25 January 2027. Each lot was evaluated on quality responses weighted at 70% and commercial submissions weighted at 30%.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for replacement lift installation across LiveWest’s housing stock, with work packaged by individual residential location and competed below the public procurement threshold. A credible future supplier would need the technical capability to remove and replace lift equipment, manage installation and construction activities, and deliver reliably across housing sites. The evaluation shows that quality was more important than price, so evidence of safe, well-planned delivery, technical competence, programme management and effective resident or site coordination would be important. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and all three bids recorded for each location came from SMEs, indicating that specialist regional contractors can compete for this type of LiveWest requirement.
