Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described concerns emergency lift works at the QTC Block 2 at the University of the West of England, Bristol. The contracting authority is the University's purchasing department, located at Frenchay Campus, Coldharbour Lane, Bristol. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically lift-maintenance services. The procurement process, now at the award stage, was conducted directly without competition, as it was below the financial threshold. The contract, signed on 24 March 2026, is active and encompasses a brief service period from 25 to 26 March 2026, with a gross value of £66,295.20.

This procurement offers opportunities for businesses specialising in lift-maintenance services, although the direct award process in this instance may limit immediate competitive opportunities. Future tenders from the University, however, may be more open, presenting opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the South West of England, particularly those located near Bristol, given their logistical advantage. Companies with expertise in emergency and routine lift repairs, as well as those offering competitive maintenance solutions, could position themselves effectively to participate in similar tenders or future procurement opportunities from the University of the West of England or other public bodies.
