Summary of the contracting process

Tendring District Council procured lift servicing and maintenance for properties it owns and manages. The requirement covers planned and reactive repair and maintenance of lifts and associated lifting equipment, including lift parts, stairlifts and installation services. It is a services contract, with work delivered across the East of England. The council is the buying organisation, while Eastern Procurement Limited acted as the framework provider. The requirement is relevant to lift maintenance contractors, lift engineers, providers of stairlift services and businesses supplying or installing lifting equipment and replacement parts. Suppliers serving public-sector property portfolios, particularly those able to manage maintenance across multiple council-owned and managed buildings, would be closest to the established requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective below-threshold call-off under a framework; the call-off was non-competitive. There was one completed lot. Tendring District Council awarded the contract to Stannah Lift Services Limited. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 23 July 2026 to 5 July 2029, with an option to extend by two further years, to 5 July 2031. Its value is £137,500 excluding VAT, or £165,000 including VAT. The procurement used service-based evaluation under the framework route. The available outcome records show an active award and active contract, with Stannah as the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for ongoing lift servicing and maintenance across a district council’s property portfolio, including repair work, replacement lift parts, stairlifts and related installation. A future competitor would need practical lift engineering capability, reliable access to suitable parts, and the capacity to deliver planned and responsive maintenance across multiple public buildings. Experience managing a sustained council or other public-sector maintenance service would help demonstrate operational credibility. Businesses specialising in stairlifts, lifting equipment installation or lift repairs may be relevant where they can support the full requirement or work as part of a delivery team. The incumbent’s large-supplier profile also indicates that bidders should be able to organise resources and service coverage at portfolio scale.
