UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust is procuring works to replace Lift 19 at its NHS hospital site in Bath. The requirement covers lift installation work and the supply and installation of a replacement lift. This is a single works package intended to restore or improve lift provision within the Trust’s estate. Suppliers should therefore be able to undertake lift replacement projects in an operational healthcare environment, coordinating installation activities with the hospital’s requirements and site arrangements. The work is for the Trust’s own facilities, with delivery at Royal United Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Bath. The opportunity is relevant to lift installation contractors, specialist lift replacement companies and principal contractors with suitable lift engineering capability.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one package. Enquiries had to be submitted by 14 August 2026 at 5pm, and tenders were due by 21 August 2026 at noon. Electronic submission was allowed through the buyer’s online tendering system. The contract period is from 10 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £175,000 excluding VAT, or £210,000 including VAT. Tenders will be evaluated against compliance with the tender documentation and pricing. The package is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The requirement is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits businesses specialising in lift installation, lift replacement and associated building or engineering works. Strong candidates will need the technical capability to remove an existing lift and install its replacement, while meeting the requirements set out in the tender documentation. Experience of managing works within a hospital or other operational public building would be relevant, particularly where installation must be coordinated safely around staff, patients, visitors and existing services. Suppliers should have the workforce, supervision, equipment and supply-chain capacity to deliver a complete lift replacement package during the stated contract period. The competition is explicitly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist contractors may be well placed to compete if they can demonstrate compliant delivery arrangements and competitive pricing.
