Summary of the contracting process

Alpha RSL Limited procured lift servicing and responsive repairs under the title Lift Servicing and Responsive Repairs. The requirement covers three connected services: cyclical planned preventative maintenance for lifts and hoists, responsive repairs and maintenance carried out when required, and remote lift monitoring. This is a public-sector services contract for lift-maintenance work. Delivery covers the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and the West Midlands. The work is relevant to lift maintenance contractors able to provide both scheduled servicing and reactive call-outs across a wide geographic area, with remote monitoring capability integrated into their service model. The buyer is Alpha RSL Limited, also referred to in the requirement as Alpha Living.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed open procedure. Ascendant Lifts Limited was selected for the single lot on 21 July 2026, with an awarded gross value of £520,995. The contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2029, with an option to extend by two years to a maximum end date of 3 August 2031. The original estimated gross value was £500,000. Bids closed at noon on 5 June 2026, enquiries closed at 5pm on 26 May 2026, and the award decision period ended on 22 June 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and cost at 30%. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Eleven bids reached the final stage, including nine from SMEs.

This award demonstrates established demand from Alpha RSL Limited for a combined lift-maintenance service rather than a single specialist activity. A credible competitor for the requirement's next procurement would need to deliver cyclical planned preventative maintenance for lifts and hoists, responsive repairs on demand, and remote monitoring through one coordinated service. The geographic coverage across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and the West Midlands indicates a need for operational reach, dependable mobile engineering capacity and the ability to manage work across multiple regions. The strong quality weighting shows that service delivery capability, responsiveness, management arrangements and technical competence would matter more than price alone. SME participation is demonstrably viable: nine of the eleven final-stage bidders were SMEs.
