Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured works to replace the existing evacuation-designated passenger lift at St Augustine’s Community Centre in Derby. The requirement covers lift replacement and associated lift installation work, with delivery at the community centre in Derby. This is a public-sector building-services opportunity for lift manufacturers, specialist lift replacement contractors and installation businesses able to manage the removal of an existing lift and the delivery, installation and completion of a replacement evacuation passenger lift. The council is the buyer and the requirement is classified as works. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist regional contractors as well as larger lift companies that can provide the required technical delivery capacity.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MORRIS VERMAPORT LIMITED on 11 May 2026. It used a below-threshold open competition under the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024. One lot was awarded. The estimated award value was £105,000 excluding VAT, or £126,000 including VAT. The signed contract value is £86,304.55 excluding VAT, or £103,565.46 including VAT. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 21 March 2028, an 83-week period. Three bids were received, with two reaching the final stage. Bidders had to complete and pass an online Selection Questionnaire. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist lift replacement and installation within a local-authority community facility, including an evacuation-designated passenger lift. A credible future competitor would need the technical capability to survey an existing installation, plan and manage its replacement, install the new lift and complete associated works safely in an occupied public building. The evaluation balance shows that quality mattered more than price, so evidence of reliable delivery, sound project management, technical compliance and effective quality control would be important alongside competitive pricing. The requirement also attracted final-stage bids from two SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller contractors can compete where they can demonstrate the necessary lift expertise, capacity and completed-project experience.
