Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bexley, a sub-central public authority in the United Kingdom, completed a procurement process for "Lift Services" aimed at replacing a goods/scissor lift in the service area of the Civic Offices due to the lift reaching the end of its life. The procurement was conducted using a direct method without competition, being below the threshold. The contract was awarded to Apex Lift & Escalator Engineers Limited, with the completed contract executed between 6th July 2026 and 10th July 2026. Services cover multiple UK regions, focusing on lift-maintenance, and adhere to the legal framework outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54. The overall gross contract value totalled GBP 43,128.

This tender presents an opportunity for SMEs specialising in lift maintenance and engineering services to expand their portfolio by participating in government-led infrastructure maintenance projects. Companies with the capability to deliver timely and efficient services across multiple regions in the UK are well-suited to compete for such contracts. Those with existing infrastructure and experience in public sector service delivery, particularly in the maintenance of urban infrastructure components, could significantly benefit from engaging in similar tenders issued by public authorities like the London Borough of Bexley.
