Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield Health Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust is procuring the design and build of a lift replacement at Longley. The requirement is for a principal design company to take responsibility for both the design and construction work, rather than supplying lift installation as a standalone product. The main category is construction works, with associated design and other professional services. Delivery is in South Yorkshire. Participation is reserved to organisations located in South Yorkshire, so businesses based elsewhere should check the detailed requirements before considering a bid. The opportunity is relevant to lift replacement contractors, construction companies and principal design-and-build firms able to manage the technical design, coordination and installation of a replacement lift within a healthcare setting.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Offers were to be submitted electronically through the Atamis procurement portal by 30 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. Enquiries could be submitted until 16 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract is planned to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 December 2027. Its estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT, or £480,000 including VAT. There is one requirement covering the lift replacement. Tenders are evaluated on 55% technical quality, 10% social value and 35% commercial considerations. Electronic submission is permitted, using the procurement portal specified by the buyer.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises as well as established design-and-build contractors with a specialist lift replacement capability. Strong candidates will be able to provide principal design responsibility, develop the technical solution, coordinate the required construction activity and deliver the replacement through to completion. The requirement is likely to suit businesses that combine lift engineering knowledge with construction project management, design coordination and installation delivery. Firms should also be prepared to demonstrate a technically strong approach and explain the social value they would provide, since these elements together account for a substantial part of the evaluation. Contractors able to work within South Yorkshire are best placed to meet the participation restriction and deliver the project locally.
