Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes College procured a fully comprehensive lift maintenance and servicing contract. The requirement is for maintenance and servicing of the college’s lifts, with the college as the buying organisation. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the procurement data does not identify a more specific delivery place. This is a building-services maintenance requirement for suppliers able to maintain and service lift equipment under a comprehensive service arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Rubax Lifts Limited, which signed the contract on 6 October 2026. The contract value is £38,883.52 excluding VAT (£46,660.22 including VAT). Its stated contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, allowing service to continue to 25 October 2031. The original estimated procurement value was £85,000 excluding VAT (£102,000 including VAT). It was run as an open, below-threshold competition. There was one lot, and evaluation weighted price at 60% and quality at 40%. The lot was described as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For lift-maintenance firms, this award shows Milton Keynes College’s demand for a fully comprehensive service and maintenance arrangement for its lifts, rather than a one-off repair. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the technical ability and operational capacity to maintain lift equipment reliably across a college’s facilities and deliver a comprehensive service. The evaluation placed greater weight on price than quality, while still assigning substantial importance to quality, so suppliers would need a competitive cost base alongside clear evidence of service quality. The procurement was open to SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the requirement was not restricted to large firms or commercial providers. The selected supplier is a lift company, making relevant lift-maintenance capability central to competing for this buyer’s requirement.
