Summary of the contracting process

Castles and Coasts Housing Association is procuring lift maintenance services across its properties in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers both planned preventative maintenance and reactive maintenance for vertical transport equipment. The appointed supplier will be responsible for helping keep lifts safe, legally compliant, reliable and operational throughout the contract term. This is a building-services maintenance opportunity, specifically lift-maintenance and repair services. It is relevant to firms that inspect, service, repair and maintain lifts in housing or other property portfolios, including suppliers able to respond to faults as well as deliver scheduled preventative work. The buyer is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, while delivery is required across its UK properties.

The procurement has reached tender: Castles and Coasts Housing Association invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Electronic submission was allowed, with expressions of interest due by 17 September 2026 at 11:00 and enquiries accepted until 13 September 2026 at 11:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 14 October 2026 to 14 October 2029, with a possible further 12-month extension at the buyer’s discretion, giving a maximum end date of 14 September 2030. The estimated value is £170,000 excluding VAT, or £204,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on 60% price, covering hourly rates and maintenance Type 1 pricing, and 40% quality, assessed through a quality method statement.

This opportunity suits a suitably qualified and experienced lift-maintenance contractor with the technical capability to provide both planned preventative and reactive services. Suppliers should be able to maintain vertical transport equipment across a property portfolio and support safe, compliant, reliable and continuous operation. The requirement will favour businesses with the operational capacity to schedule routine maintenance while also managing responsive repairs and service issues. Experience of delivering comparable lift-maintenance services, particularly for housing or multi-property environments, will be relevant. Bidders will need to demonstrate their service approach through quality responses assessed against the buyer’s quality method statement criteria, alongside submitting competitive hourly rates and Type 1 maintenance pricing.
