Summary of the contracting process

The University of Huddersfield procured lift maintenance services for its Huddersfield campuses. The requirement covers planned maintenance, breakdown response, emergency release of passengers, repairs, inspections and testing for passenger, goods and accessibility lifts. It applies to lift installations that the university is responsible for, whether owned or leased. The work is classified as lift services and the repair and maintenance of electrical and mechanical building installations. Delivery is at the university’s campuses in Huddersfield. This is a university-wide estates and facilities requirement, suited to a specialist lift maintenance contractor able to support a mixed portfolio of passenger, goods and accessibility equipment and provide both routine servicing and urgent response.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded under an open procedure. The University of Huddersfield awarded the single lot to CONCEPT ELEVATORS (UK) LIMITED trading as Andwis Lifts on 25 June 2026. The award and signed contract value is £300,000 excluding VAT, or £360,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with extensions available to a maximum end date of 31 July 2031. The tender deadline was 24 April 2026 at 12:00, enquiries closed on 22 April 2026 at 12:00, and the award period ended on 8 June 2026. Ten bids were received. Evaluation weighted quantitative price at 30%, qualitative price at 10%, experience and resources at 25%, contract management and delivery at 20%, and records management at 15%. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from the University of Huddersfield for a specialist contractor capable of maintaining, inspecting, testing and repairing passenger, goods and accessibility lifts across a university campus estate. A credible competitor would need robust planned maintenance systems alongside dependable breakdown and emergency passenger-release arrangements. Relevant technical experience, sufficient engineering resources and the ability to manage both owned and leased equipment would be important. The evaluation also shows that buyers will look closely at contract management and service delivery, records management, experience and resourcing, and both quantitative and qualitative pricing. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence organised compliance records, clear reporting, responsive operational arrangements and satisfactory performance across a mixed lift portfolio.
