Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Community Housing Association Limited is procuring lift servicing and maintenance services, including work involving lifts, elevators, conveyors and related installation. The requirement covers the upkeep and servicing of lift equipment used in the organisation’s housing and associated properties. The procurement is classified as a services contract, with related work spanning lift engineering and other supporting services. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include lift maintenance contractors, elevator and conveyor specialists, lift installation companies and providers of associated engineering services. The buyer is based in Nottingham and is a community housing association. The requirement is presented as a single service package rather than separate workstreams, so suppliers should be able to address the full scope of lift servicing and maintenance.

The procurement reached tender and invited offers through an accelerated open procedure, with the acceleration justified by urgency. Electronic submission was allowed in English. The buyer set the tender deadline as 22 September 2026 at 23:59, with the award period ending at the same time. The contract is scheduled to run from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2028, with two further two-year extensions available, allowing continuation until 4 October 2032. The estimated value is £900,000 excluding VAT, or £1,080,000 including VAT. Price carries 60% of the evaluation weighting and quality 40%. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and is arranged as one lot.

This opportunity suits established lift engineering and maintenance businesses able to service and maintain lifts, elevators, conveyors and associated equipment across the United Kingdom. It may also suit contractors with lift installation capability, where installation work forms part of their service offer. The single-lot structure favours suppliers that can provide a comprehensive service rather than only one specialist element. Firms should be able to demonstrate the operational capability, engineering resources and service capacity needed to support lift equipment for a housing association over the initial contract term and possible extensions. The evaluation gives quality a substantial weighting alongside price, so suppliers with a credible service approach, reliable maintenance arrangements and relevant technical experience are well placed to compete.

Lifts Servicing and Maintenance

Notice Description

** This is not a live opportunity/ call for competition ** This Notice is published to clarify the procedural position in relation to the procurement referenced above. A UK12 notice was issued in error during this procurement - identifier 2026/S 000-027896, published 26 March 2026. Prior to this, a UK 4 was issued identifier - ocds-h6vhtk-0659c5 on the 23rd February 2026. No contract award was made, and the issue of the UK12 does not affect the underlying procurement process, which has otherwise been conducted lawfully and in accordance with the published documents. As a result of the UK12 being issued in error, the Contracting Authority is unable to proceed using the original notice sequence as the notices cannot be linked, or amended. A reduced tendering period has therefore been selected under this notice as this is not a live opportunity. This Notice is therefore published to correct the position and to ensure transparency to the market. Following publication of this Notice, the Contracting Authority intends to proceed with the publication of a UK 6 notice, to the successful supplier, following a compliant evaluation. ** This is not a live opportunity/ call for competition **
