Summary of the contracting process

Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust and Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured fully comprehensive lift maintenance services for their hospital sites in Northampton and Kettering. The work covers maintenance of lifts at both trusts, grouped into one lot for Northampton General Hospital and another for Kettering General Hospital. The contract title and scope identify comprehensive maintenance, while the contract performance measures also cover lift breakdowns, servicing, emergency call-outs, repairs and LOLER inspection findings. This is specialist building-services work for healthcare premises, requiring the supplier to maintain lift availability and respond to faults across both locations. The two trusts are the buyers; Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust managed the procurement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Jackson Lift Services Limited. The award was made on 17 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The contract value is £168,984 excluding VAT (£202,780.80 including VAT), covering both hospital lots; the buyer’s estimated value for each lot was £150,000 excluding VAT. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, up to 31 August 2031. This was an open procedure. Each lot was evaluated on commercial requirements (40%), technical requirements (50%) and social value (10%). Suppliers could bid for and win no more than one lot. Eight bids were received for each lot.

This award demonstrates demand from the two trusts for a comprehensive lift-maintenance service across hospital sites, with a strong emphasis on dependable service delivery and rapid fault response. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to maintain hospital lifts, attend out-of-hours emergencies within one hour, achieve strong first-time and seven-day repair rates, and address findings in LOLER reports within required timescales. Performance is monitored against monthly lift availability, missed service visits, repeat breakdowns and repair outcomes; service failures can trigger invoice deductions. The evaluation gave the greatest weight to technical requirements, alongside commercial and social-value considerations. Both lots were considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, and seven of the eight bids for each lot came from SMEs.
