Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Metropolitan University has recently finalised a procurement process for the replacement of a glass lift at its Llandaff Campus in Cardiff, United Kingdom. This project falls under the works industry category and the procurement has been designated as "limited" with a below-threshold competition method. The contract was awarded on 14th May 2026 and is active, with completion expected by 30th September 2026. This award was made under the legal framework of the 2023/54 UK Public Procurement Act. Cardiff Metropolitan University, as the buying organisation, operates under sub-central government regulations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in lift installation work, particularly those with experience in glass and bespoke lift projects. The contract was awarded to Jackson Lifts Services Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), highlighting that businesses of comparable scale and capability can successfully compete in such tenders. Companies with expertise in modernisation and upgrades of building equipment could find lucrative opportunities in similar projects procured by public authorities, sub-central government, and other educational institutions. Leveraging expertise in compliance with devolved regulations can further enhance a company's competitive edge in these procurement processes.
