Summary of the contracting process

Barcud Shared Services is buying maintenance and support for the vertical transport systems listed in the equipment schedules, covering United Welsh Housing Association and Beacon Cymru Group. This is a lift-maintenance service, with delivery across Wales. The procurement is a shared requirement involving the three housing organisations; the maintenance specification and separate pricing matrices relate to United Welsh and Beacon Cymru Group. Suppliers need to be able to maintain and support the specified equipment across the locations covered by those schedules.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement has reached tender; the pricing schedules were amended after clarification. The single lot is valued at £1,235,000 excluding VAT (£1,482,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with a possible two-year renewal described as 1+1, taking the maximum period to 30 November 2031. Questions were due by 4pm on 5 October 2026 and bids by noon on 12 October 2026; an award decision was due by 19 October 2026. Evaluation weights price at 60% and quality at 40%. Economic and technical selection requirements are set out in the tender documents.

This opportunity suits lift-maintenance contractors able to service and support vertical transport equipment for housing providers. The buyer marks the lot as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers of different sizes and organisational types may compete. The separate equipment schedules, maintenance specification and pricing matrices indicate that bidders should be prepared to price and plan work for both United Welsh Housing Association and Beacon Cymru Group. Quality accounts for a substantial part of the evaluation alongside price, and the tender includes foundation questions, quality questions and a community-benefits menu. The documents therefore indicate that a competitive bid needs to address service quality and community benefits as well as cost.»} બીજી in final? no.
