Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Sutton is procuring lift replacement, lift modernisation and ongoing lift maintenance services. The works include removing existing lift installations, installing new lifts, modernising existing equipment and carrying out planned maintenance in line with the building-specific specifications and maintenance requirements. Suppliers must provide durable, low-maintenance, open-protocol installations that comply with relevant legislation and standards, and complete the works within agreed timescales and budget. The procurement is for works associated with lift and escalator installation. Delivery covers locations across England, including the London area. The requirement is structured as a single lot and is intended to support the authority’s lift infrastructure through both capital works and continuing maintenance.

The procurement has reached tender: the London Borough of Sutton invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers could submit enquiries until 24 September 2026 at 12:00 and bids by 5 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032. Its estimated value is £3,000,000 excluding VAT, or £3,600,000 including VAT. The single lot is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Bids will be evaluated on quality and price, weighted 60% and 40% respectively; the quality score includes a 10% social value element. The tender uses the invitation-to-tender procedure under the Procurement Act 2023 for below-threshold contracts.

This opportunity suits lift installation and maintenance contractors able to deliver both major replacement projects and ongoing servicing. Strong candidates will have the technical capability to remove existing equipment, install new lifts and modernise current installations across multiple buildings, while maintaining equipment in accordance with a detailed maintenance specification. They will need to demonstrate compliance with relevant legislation and standards, and the ability to supply durable, low-maintenance, open-protocol systems. The requirement also calls for dependable project delivery within agreed timescales and budget, alongside capacity for a five-year service period. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are expressly identified as suitable participants. Bidders must register on the UK Government Central Digital Platform so core supplier information can be shared through the e-tendering portal.
