UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Amplius Living intends to procure lift and lifting-equipment servicing, maintenance and repair across its residential property portfolio. The work covers planned preventative maintenance, statutory compliance inspections (including LOLER where applicable), reactive repairs and associated services for passenger lifts, through-floor lifts, stair lifts, hoists, personal lifting appliances, roller shutters and fixed ladder systems. Ancillary work may include minor refurbishments, component replacement and lift installation. The requirement is primarily a maintenance services contract, supporting safe, compliant and reliable equipment in Amplius Living’s housing stock. Work is expected across its operating geography, including Milton Keynes and areas in the Midlands, Yorkshire and Humber, the East of England and the South East.

This is at planning stage: Amplius Living has stated an intention to procure, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use a competitive flexible procedure. Preliminary market engagement is underway to shape the procurement strategy; suppliers are asked to submit a questionnaire by 19 October 2026. Amplius may invite respondents to a further in-person event, and says engagement will not form part of any future evaluation. The next notice is expected on 2 November 2026. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with a possible extension to 31 March 2034. The estimated value is £7 million. The procurement is planned as one lot.

The requirement is likely to suit established lift maintenance contractors and specialist firms with the technical capability to inspect, service and repair a varied range of lifting and access equipment across a residential property portfolio. Providers able to deliver planned preventative maintenance alongside responsive repairs, statutory compliance inspections, component replacement, refurbishment and installation are relevant. The scope calls for experience with passenger and accessibility lifts, hoists, personal lifting appliances, roller shutters and fixed ladder inspection; knowledge of LOLER inspections is relevant where applicable. Suppliers should consider whether they can cover Amplius Living’s operating geography and provide reliable maintenance across housing stock. Amplius expressly welcomes engagement from SMEs as well as established and specialist providers. The market engagement is intended to gather insight into current capability, innovation and good practice and to help develop a deliverable future procurement.
