Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust procured passenger lift replacement stages at Howard Court, buildings 1A and 1B, in Welwyn Garden City. The requirement falls within lift-maintenance services and concerns work on passenger lifts serving NHS premises. The procurement covers the replacement stages rather than a general lift-maintenance programme. It is a single requirement for the Trust’s Howard Court site, making it relevant to lift manufacturers, lift replacement specialists, lift engineering contractors and maintenance providers able to deliver staged passenger-lift works. Suppliers would need to understand the operational constraints of working in a community healthcare environment and coordinate replacement activity around the Trust’s buildings and service needs.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, using a waiver. ILECS Limited was awarded the requirement on 10 August 2026. The contract was signed on that date and runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £15,000 excluding VAT, or £18,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. One supplier was selected for the single lot. The recorded procurement category is services, specifically lift-maintenance services. The process therefore shows a completed, below-threshold route rather than an open competitive tender, with the Trust appointing ILECS Limited for the Howard Court lift replacement stages.

This award is relevant to businesses that can undertake passenger-lift replacement stages, including lift engineering firms, specialist replacement contractors and established maintenance providers with the technical capability to work on NHS or comparable occupied buildings. A credible competitor would need to manage staged replacement works safely, coordinate access and shutdowns, and maintain reliable communication with the Trust while passenger-lift services are affected. Experience of healthcare estates, public-sector compliance, site safety, testing, commissioning and handover would strengthen a future response. The appointed supplier is a large organisation, indicating that the requirement was delivered through a provider with the capacity and organisational maturity to manage a structured lift project rather than a small isolated repair.
