UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon is initiating a tender for the servicing, maintenance, and repair of passenger lifts, including LOLER inspections to ensure compliance with relevant standards. This opportunity includes Hillingdon Council's housing stock, consisting of over 116 assets across various housing types and corporate sites. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a pre-market engagement exercise scheduled. Interested parties are encouraged to participate by sending an email by 30th April 2026. The formal contract, which is expected to start on 1st November 2026, will have an initial duration of three years with possible extensions for up to four additional years, potentially ending in October 2033. The planned communication for the tender notice is set for 6th May 2026. The procurement falls under the services category with a total estimated value of £2,520,000, situated in the United Kingdom within the UKI74 region.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in lift services, including maintenance and repair. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can effectively compete due to the contract's suitability for them and the clear scope outlined for planned servicing and reactive maintenance. Companies with expertise in the installation and servicing of lifts, particularly those familiar with the requirements for ensuring mandated safety inspections, will find this tender especially advantageous. The involvement of a public authority at the sub-central government level provides a stable, high-value opportunity to secure a long-term contract with potential extensions. Engaging in the pre-market exercise may provide insights and improve chances of being shortlisted for the actual tender process.
