Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured construction works to modernise existing passenger lift installations across multiple multi-storey buildings and sheltered housing units. The work covers the Council area, including sites in and around Perth & Kinross. The requirement is for a suitably qualified lift contractor able to manage modernisation works in occupied or operational public and supported-housing buildings. It sits within the construction works category and concerns passenger-lift systems rather than general building construction. The buyer is Perth & Kinross Council, a local authority. The successful supplier is based in Scotland, indicating that the requirement was suitable for a specialist regional lift business with the resources and experience to deliver work across several Council properties.

This procurement has been awarded: Classic Lifts (Scotland) Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 24 July 2026. The award was made through a single-lot open procedure, evaluated on quality at 60% and price at 40%. The estimated lot value was £850,000, while the signed contract value is £860,349. The works period was set from 1 July 2026 to 22 September 2027, with 64 weeks of works and a 12-month defect period for each site. Bids closed on 1 May 2026, with a 90-day bid validity period. Five bids were received, all from SMEs and submitted electronically. Variants were not permitted, and the contract supports electronic ordering, invoicing and payment.

This award demonstrates demand from Perth & Kinross Council for specialist passenger-lift modernisation in sheltered housing and multi-storey public buildings. A credible competitor would need to show two comparable sheltered-housing lift modernisation contracts completed within the previous five years, together with Lift and Escalator Industry Association membership. The requirement favours contractors able to provide named, suitably qualified staff and manage subcontracting transparently. Strong financial capacity is important, including positive net assets and a current ratio of at least one across the relevant financial years. Contractors would also need robust professional, employers’, contractor, third-party and hot-works insurance, alongside documented or certified quality, health and safety, and environmental management systems. This points to a technically established lift specialist with formal compliance controls and multi-site delivery capability.
