Summary of the contracting process

The Riverside Group Limited is seeking a contractor to replace the lifts at Lexington Apartments in Slough. The works involve traction-type lifts with firefighting capability, including the associated lift installation and lifting-equipment works. The appointed contractor will deliver the programme from design through Building Safety Regulator approval and on-site construction. The specification has been produced by Frankham Consultancy Group, which will also act as principal designer. The requirement is classified as works and covers lift replacement, installation and related maintenance services. It will suit contractors able to manage a complete lift replacement project in a residential apartment setting, coordinate design and construction activities, and work with the appointed principal designer and statutory approval processes.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective, two-stage competitive flexible procedure. Stage 1 is used to shortlist suppliers, with shortlisted suppliers invited to submit a full tender at Stage 2. Expressions of interest were due by 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The evaluation period was scheduled to end on 1 November 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. The estimated procurement value is £1,100,000 excluding VAT and £1,320,000 including VAT. The lot value is recorded as AED 1,100,000 excluding VAT and AED 1,320,000 including VAT. Stage 1 shortlisting is weighted entirely on quality. Electronic submission is allowed in English.

This opportunity suits established lift replacement and installation contractors with the technical capacity to supply and install traction lifts with firefighting functionality. Relevant firms should be able to undertake or manage design development, coordinate Building Safety Regulator approval, and deliver the physical works on a residential apartment scheme. Experience in lift installation, lifting equipment and associated lift-maintenance services is directly relevant. The requirement is likely to favour businesses able to provide end-to-end project management, coordinate specialist designers and installers, and maintain safe working arrangements in an occupied or residential environment. Contractors should also be prepared for a two-stage competition: first demonstrating their quality and suitability for shortlisting, then developing a full tender response if invited.
