Summary of the contracting process

Kirklees College is procuring lift-maintenance services for all seven of its college sites. The requirement covers the maintenance of lifts used across the college estate, with delivery taking place at the college’s sites in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Kirklees College, based at its Huddersfield Centre in Huddersfield. This is a services contract, classified under CPV 50750000 for lift-maintenance services. The opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses that provide planned or responsive maintenance for lift equipment across multiple educational or public-sector premises, rather than suppliers of general building maintenance or unrelated facilities services.

The procurement has reached tender: Kirklees College invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. The enquiry deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00. Bids may be submitted electronically through the buyer’s specified supplier portal. There is one lot, with an estimated value of £51,000 excluding VAT and £61,200 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with extensions allowed for two further 12-month periods, up to 30 September 2031. Evaluation is weighted 45% price and 55% quality, with the detailed criteria set out in the procurement documents.

This opportunity suits lift-maintenance contractors able to support equipment across seven college sites and manage the operational demands of a multi-site public-sector service. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it is not limited to large national facilities-management providers. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate a credible service approach, because quality carries greater evaluation weight than price. Businesses with relevant lift-maintenance capability, sufficient coverage for multiple locations and experience of delivering reliable services in occupied premises are likely to be best placed to compete. The work may also suit a specialist lift-maintenance firm partnering with other providers to provide wider geographic coverage.
