Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process led by Southern Housing, a public authority classified under sub-central government, focuses on the "Lift Maintenance, Servicing and Repair work for North Region". Situated in London, the contracting authority has engaged in a direct award due to an urgent need to maintain statutory lift services. The contract, now in the completed and active award stage, covers services in regions UKF, UKG, and UKI of the United Kingdom. This interim arrangement commenced on 17th June 2026 and will conclude on 15th June 2027, addressing the immediate need following an early termination of the previous contract. The procurement decision ensures compliance with several statutory obligations, safeguarding residents' safety and health with an overall contract value of £1,165,200 gross, out of which £971,000 is the net amount.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in lift maintenance services. Jackson Lift Services Limited, an SME located in London, has been awarded the contract, illustrating suitability for companies of similar scale and expertise in lift maintenance. For businesses aiming to grow in the public sector, partnerships like this offer a reliable source of income and potential for reinforcement of service delivery standards. SME businesses with capabilities in emergency maintenance services and adherence to industry regulations, such as LOLER, would find such contracts beneficial for expanding their portfolio and ensuring stable engagement with public authorities.

Notice Title

Lift Maintenance, Servicing and Repair work for North Region

Notice Description

Provision of Lift Maintenance, Servicing and Repair work for North Region

Procurement Information

This interim arrangement must be executed immediately to ensure there is no interruption to statutory lift servicing, maintenance, and responsive repair provision following the early termination of the incumbent contract. Due to the time required to undertake a compliant procurement exercise, it is not possible to complete a full competitive process within the available timeframe. Any delay in putting an interim contract in place would result in a gap in service provision, which cannot be accommodated. Entering into this contract is therefore unavoidable to enable Southern Housing to continue meeting its statutory and regulatory obligations, including: * Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 - duty to ensure the safety of residents, staff, and contractors * Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) - requirement for regular inspection, maintenance, and safe operation of lifting equipment * Regulatory standards for social housing, including building safety and consumer standards requiring the safe management of building systems Failure to maintain uninterrupted service provision would expose residents to immediate safety risks and place the organisation in breach of its legal obligations
