Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council procured works to replace the existing lift at Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery. The lift had exceeded its serviceable life and was considered beyond practicable or economic repair. The purpose of the project is to maintain safe accessibility to the museum and gallery. The requirement covers lift replacement and associated construction work, classified under CPV 42416100 for lifts and CPV 45000000 for construction work. Delivery is at the Peterborough site. This is a single works requirement for the council, with the museum team having secured funding for the replacement. The selected supplier is a specialist lift services business, indicating that the requirement combines lift installation with the building works needed to complete the replacement safely.

The procurement is complete following a below-threshold open competition. It was one lot, with an estimated value of £140,000 excluding VAT and £168,000 including VAT. The tender deadline was 16 February 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 9 February 2026. The contract was awarded to OMEGA CITYLIFTS SERVICES LIMITED. The contract was signed on 15 May 2026, runs from 26 May 2026 to 30 November 2026, and is valued at £123,200 excluding VAT and £147,840 including VAT. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, with a 65% threshold; bidders scoring above that threshold proceeded to price evaluation, and the lowest price then won. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Peterborough City Council for a complete lift replacement in a public museum and gallery, rather than routine lift servicing alone. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in lift replacement, installation and commissioning, together with the construction capability to adapt the existing building and deliver associated works. The requirement also calls for a strong quality submission: quality was assessed first and bidders had to pass a 65% threshold before price was considered. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence safe delivery in a public-facing environment, protection of accessibility during the works, effective coordination with the museum team and reliable project completion. The stated SME suitability indicates that a focused specialist or suitably capable small business can be relevant to this type of requirement.
