Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured works to refurbish the existing passenger lift at Derby Museum & Art Gallery, DE1 1BS. The requirement covers lift refurbishment, associated installation work and lift-maintenance services. It is a public-sector building works contract managed by the Council, with delivery in Derby. The scope is focused on restoring and improving an existing passenger lift rather than supplying a new standalone lift. Businesses operating in passenger-lift refurbishment, lift installation, building installation or lift maintenance would be relevant. The procurement is a single requirement covering the museum and art gallery lift, rather than a broader programme of lift works across multiple sites.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition. Derby City Council received four bids, with three reaching the final stage. Bids were assessed using a Selection Questionnaire and a combination of quality and price: quality carried 60% and price 40%. The contract was awarded to MORRIS VERMAPORT LIMITED on 15 June 2026. The award value was £130,000 excluding VAT, or £156,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and records a value of £64,182.45 excluding VAT, or £77,018.94 including VAT. Its contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 28 March 2028.

This procurement shows that Derby City Council buys specialist passenger-lift refurbishment and associated maintenance as works for a public museum and art gallery. A credible competitor would need practical capability in assessing and refurbishing existing passenger lifts, carrying out lift or building installation work, and supporting maintenance requirements through the contract. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality than price, so evidence of a sound delivery approach, technical competence, safety management and reliable service would be important alongside competitive pricing. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the bidding process attracted several suppliers, indicating a market in which specialist lift businesses can compete.
