UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured contract administration services for the E18 lift replacement project. The requirement covered administration from RIBA Stage 5 through Stage 7, spanning construction, completion and post-completion activities associated with replacing a lift. The procurement is connected to lift goods and related project support, with the work for the Trust in Liverpool. The requirement indicates a need to manage the delivery and close-out of a specialist hospital lift replacement rather than simply supply lift equipment. It is relevant to businesses providing construction or engineering contract administration, lift replacement project support, and professional services covering the later RIBA project stages. The buyer is a public NHS foundation trust operating from Liverpool.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold without competition, with one lot. Actua Solutions Ltd, a Liverpool-based SME, was awarded the contract on 16 July 2026. The award value is £14,829 excluding VAT and £17,794.80 including VAT. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 15 August 2026. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies lift replacement as the procurement category and lifts as the associated classification. The award route was direct procurement rather than an open or competitive tender, so the process provides evidence of a small, time-limited requirement commissioned directly by the Trust.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award signals demand from Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for focused contract administration during the later stages of a hospital lift replacement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience administering specialist lift or building-services works through RIBA Stages 5 to 7, including construction delivery, completion, handover and post-completion obligations. Relevant capability would include coordinating contractors and technical stakeholders, tracking progress and compliance, managing records and defects, and supporting completion of works in a live healthcare environment. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can suit a focused specialist rather than only a large multidisciplinary consultancy. Familiarity with NHS estate projects and direct public-sector purchasing would also strengthen credibility.
