Summary of the contracting process

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited procured replacement lift works for lifts 10 and 13 at Sunderland Royal Hospital, on behalf of Choice Ltd. The work is lift installation and replacement at the hospital in Sunderland. This is a works contract focused on upgrading two existing lifts; the published scope does not describe wider hospital lift maintenance or other sites. The buyer is a healthcare-sector commercial organisation, and the hospital is the delivery location. The requirement is most relevant to lift manufacturers, specialist lift contractors and firms able to manage replacement works in an operational hospital environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Stannah Lift Services Limited on 6 October 2026. The award value is £283,217.76 excluding VAT (£339,861.31 including VAT). The award period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2028. The competition used an open procedure below the applicable threshold and was not divided into multiple lots. Bids were due by 1 September 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 65% and quality at 35%. Three bids reached the final stage, including two from SMEs. The tender estimated a value of £200,000 excluding VAT (£240,000 including VAT), distinct from the higher awarded value.

This award shows demand from City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises for specialist replacement of hospital lifts at Sunderland Royal Hospital. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver lift replacement works, including the installation capability and project management to work on a live hospital site. The successful supplier was Stannah Lift Services Limited, a large lift-services business. Competition included SME bidders, indicating that smaller specialist firms also participated. The evaluation placed greater weight on price than quality, so future competitors would need a cost-effective delivery offer as well as evidence that their technical approach meets the buyer’s quality requirements. The procurement concerns two lifts at one hospital, rather than a multi-site maintenance programme.
