UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Bexley procured lift services to replace an end-of-life goods or scissor lift in the service area at its Civic Offices on Watling Street, Bexleyheath. The requirement falls within lift-maintenance services (CPV 50750000), although the immediate work is replacement of existing equipment rather than routine maintenance alone. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Bexley, a local public authority. The named operational location is the Civic Offices in Bexleyheath, within the London Borough of Bexley. Businesses relevant to this requirement are lift, escalator and associated engineering specialists able to replace commercial goods or scissor lifts and provide the related technical service needed for public-sector premises.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Apex Lift & Escalator Engineers Limited was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 6 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 6 July 2026 to 10 July 2026. Its value is £35,940 excluding VAT, or £43,128 including VAT. The recorded procurement category is services. The contracting route was a non-competitive direct award, rather than an open tender, so the outcome reflects the buyer’s selected supplier for this specific replacement requirement. No separate competitive evaluation basis is recorded.

This award indicates a defined requirement for commercial lift engineering: replacing an end-of-life goods or scissor lift in a local-authority office environment. Suppliers that would be credible for comparable future work would need practical experience assessing failed or obsolete lifting equipment, specifying suitable replacement machinery, coordinating removal and installation, and completing commissioning or associated maintenance safely in an occupied civic building. The buyer’s chosen supplier is an SME lift and escalator engineering business, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist rather than only by a large general contractor. Competitors should therefore be able to demonstrate focused lift expertise, reliable engineering capacity and experience supporting public-sector premises.
