Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council procured lift servicing and maintenance for its council-owned properties. The requirement covers routine servicing, maintenance and repair of lifts and related building installations, delivered across Somerset. It is a public-sector services contract for businesses specialising in lift engineering, inspection, preventative maintenance and reactive repairs. The main classification is lift-maintenance services (CPV 50750000), with related building-installation repair and maintenance services also included. The council is the buying organisation and the work relates to a single requirement rather than separate service categories. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to independent lift maintenance contractors as well as larger facilities-management or engineering businesses with the necessary specialist capability.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Ten tenders were received, with eight reaching the final stage, including five from SMEs. The tender deadline was 12 June 2026 at noon, enquiries closed on 29 May 2026 at noon, and the award period ended on 1 August 2026. The estimated value was £400,000 excluding VAT (£480,000 including VAT). HOISTWAY LTD. was selected for two awards dated 18 August 2026. The first is pending, valued at £1,004,580 including VAT; the second is active, valued at £279,050 excluding VAT (£334,860 including VAT). Both cover 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions to 30 September 2031. Evaluation weighted price at 65%, quality at 30% and social value at 5%.

This award demonstrates established demand from Somerset Council for an end-to-end lift maintenance provider able to support council-owned properties across Somerset. A credible competitor for the requirement when it next returns would need a strong operational service covering planned servicing, fault response, repairs and maintenance of lift equipment and associated building installations. The evaluation shows that bidders must balance competitive pricing with demonstrable technical quality and measurable social value; price was the largest component, but quality accounted for nearly a third of the score. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably organised specialist rather than only by a national facilities-management group. Businesses should therefore be able to evidence reliable field engineering capacity, consistent service delivery and a clear social-value offer tailored to local public-sector work.
