Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Partnership Homes commissioned lift consultancy services for its planned lift upgrade and replacement programme in Northamptonshire. The consultant is responsible for full design duties, the Principal Designer role and project management. The work also includes helping the housing provider develop the programme and run a procurement for a contractor to refurbish or replace lifts and provide servicing and maintenance across its lift estate. The consultant acts as the buyer’s authorised representative in managing the replacement and refurbishment programme. This is a professional services requirement focused on coordinating and delivering lift works, rather than carrying out the physical refurbishment or maintenance itself.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to TUV SUD Limited. The award was made on 24 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 13 October 2026. Its value is £200,000 excluding VAT (£240,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 13 October 2026 to 6 October 2029, with an option to extend by up to two years, in one or multiple periods. The buyer used an open procedure. There was one lot, and five bids reached the final stage. Award evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%.

This award shows demand from Northamptonshire Partnership Homes for consultancy that can take responsibility across the full lifecycle of a lift renewal programme: design, Principal Designer duties, project management and support with procuring the delivery contractor. A credible competitor would need to coordinate refurbishment and replacement work alongside servicing and maintenance needs across a housing provider’s lift estate, represent the client during project delivery, and keep programme, cost and handover documentation under control. The buyer’s stated performance measures emphasise delivery to the agreed programme, cost monitoring once the works contractor is appointed, and complete, compliant documentation handed over on time. The single-lot structure and quality-led evaluation favour providers able to demonstrate strong technical and delivery capability as well as competitive pricing. SMEs were considered suitable, and three of the five final-stage bidders were SMEs.
