Summary of the contracting process

First Choice Homes Oldham, a sub-central government public authority, initiated an open procedure tender for providing passenger lifts service and maintenance in the Oldham area, Greater Manchester. The project involved maintaining 16 passenger lifts within social housing buildings. The procurement process, completed with the award stage in June 2026, was scheduled to commence on 28th June 2026, with an initial contract period of two years and the potential for a two-year extension. Despite being awarded to Ascendant Lifts Limited with an approximate contract value of £40,000, the contract was subsequently cancelled in July 2026.

This contract presented a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in lift maintenance and services, particularly those structured as small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to expand their operations within the public sector. The process encouraged competition, receiving bids from multiple SMEs, reflecting an active interest in such government contracts. Although the contract was ultimately cancelled, similar future opportunities could be of significant interest to companies well-versed in efficient lift maintenance services, particularly those familiar with public procurement procedures who can handle the demands of servicing heavily utilised social housing environments.
