UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is procuring fully comprehensive maintenance for passenger, goods, bed and platform lifts across two sites in the Humber area. The service is intended to keep the equipment safe, reliable and operating efficiently, while maximising component life, preserving ride quality and performance, and maintaining cleanliness in lift shafts, pits, car tops and machine rooms. The requirement includes planned service visits, reactive call-outs and all parts. The contractor must work in line with original equipment manufacturer recommendations and the technical specification. This is a lift maintenance and repair requirement, classified under CPV 42416000 for lifts, hoists, escalators and moving walkways. Procurement Services – Lifecycle is managing the process for the Trust.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Mandatory site visits and lift inspections are scheduled between 24 August and 23 September 2026, and bidders must complete an inspection before submitting their tender. Bids must be submitted by 12 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2032. Its estimated value is £235,000 excluding VAT, or £282,000 including VAT. The single lot is evaluated on technical quality at 60%, commercial cost at 30% and social value at 10%. The contract includes an option for ad hoc works outside the comprehensive service, estimated at £10,000 per year for misuse or abuse-related requirements. Offers may be submitted electronically in English.

This opportunity suits lift maintenance contractors able to provide a fully managed service for passenger, goods, bed and platform lift equipment across multiple healthcare sites. Strong candidates will have the technical capability to inspect, service, diagnose and repair lifts, manage reactive call-outs, supply and fit replacement parts, and maintain equipment in accordance with OEM recommendations and the technical specification. Experience of working safely in lift shafts, pits, car tops and machine rooms is important, as is the ability to maintain cleanliness in areas inaccessible to non-specialist staff. Suppliers need sufficient operational capacity to support reliable service delivery and protect lift safety, ride quality, efficiency and component life over the contract term. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs, and attendance at the mandatory site inspection is required.
