Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured works to refurbish two existing passenger lifts, identified as lifts 2 and 3, at the Council House on Corporation Street in Derby, DE1 2FS. The requirement covers lift refurbishment, associated lift installation work and lift-maintenance services. It is a building-services and vertical-transportation opportunity centred on restoring and upgrading existing passenger-lift assets rather than supplying new standalone lifts. The buyer is a sub-central public authority using the Council House as the delivery site. The requirement is suitable for businesses that can manage lift refurbishment works in an occupied or operational public-sector building environment, coordinate installation activities and provide the maintenance capability needed for the relevant lift systems.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CONCEPT ELEVATORS (UK) LIMITED trading as Andwis Lifts on 9 June 2026. Derby City Council used a below-threshold open competition under the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024. The advertised estimated value was £260,000 excluding VAT, or £312,000 including VAT. The awarded value was £260,000 excluding VAT and £312,000 including VAT. The active contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 27 March 2028. The tender was one completed lot. Bids were assessed using price weighted at 40% and quality at 60%, with completion and passing of an online Selection Questionnaire required. Five bids were received and four reached the final stage.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Derby City Council for specialist refurbishment of existing passenger lifts, combining physical lift works with installation and maintenance services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need lift-engineering capability, experience working on existing passenger-lift equipment and the capacity to manage refurbishment, installation coordination and ongoing maintenance as one service. The process also shows that quality was more heavily weighted than price, so suppliers would need to evidence reliable delivery methods, technical competence, service management and suitable quality controls alongside competitive pricing. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and four SMEs submitted final-stage bids, indicating that a focused lift specialist can compete when it can demonstrate the required technical and organisational capability.
