UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Riverside Group Limited is procuring works to replace lifts at The Quarterdeck Buildings and Explorers Court in E14, London. The requirement covers traction-type lifts with firefighting capability, including design, Building Safety Regulator approval and installation works on site. The specification was produced by Frankham Consultancy Group, which will also act as principal designer. The procurement is principally lift replacement and installation, with associated lifting-equipment works and lift-maintenance services. It is a single works requirement for the two named residential buildings. The contractor will be responsible for delivering the replacement programme from design through regulatory approval and construction, rather than supplying lift equipment alone. The buyer is The Riverside Group Limited, a public undertaking.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a two-stage Competitive Flexible Procedure. Stage one is shortlisting; shortlisted suppliers proceed to a second-stage Invitation to Tender. Expressions of interest were due by 28 August 2026 at 12:00 noon, and the award decision was scheduled by 2 November 2026. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, covering an expected programme of about 12 months. The overall estimated value is £4,000,000 excluding VAT, or £4,800,000 including VAT. The single lot is separately recorded as AED 4,000,000. Stage-one selection is evaluated on quality, weighted at 100%. Electronic submissions in English are allowed.

This opportunity suits specialist lift replacement and installation contractors able to manage a complete programme from design coordination through regulatory approval and on-site delivery. Relevant capability includes traction lift systems, firefighting-enabled lift installations, mechanical lift works and associated lifting-equipment installation. Suppliers need the capacity to deliver works across The Quarterdeck Buildings and Explorers Court as one programme, with the practical resources to coordinate design, Building Safety Regulator approval and construction activities. The requirement is likely to suit established lift contractors, main contractors with strong vertical-transport capability, or suitably experienced delivery teams. Companies considering a bid should be prepared for a two-stage competition, with quality evidence central to the initial shortlisting decision and a subsequent invitation to tender for selected suppliers.
