UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council is buying replacement control systems and associated hardware for two passenger lifts in Huyton multi-storey car park. The lifts are currently out of use because their existing control system is beyond repair. The work is specifically limited to replacing the control systems and providing servicing and warranty for those systems during the first 12 months; routine lift maintenance and servicing are covered by a separate contract. This is lift-control upgrade work within a wider construction works category. Delivery is at Huyton, in Knowsley. The requirement is for two passenger lifts at a single car park, rather than a general lift maintenance contract or a programme covering multiple sites.

Knowsley Council invited offers through an open competition. The procurement reached the tender stage. Enquiries were due by 2 October 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 12 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period was set to run from 19 October to 19 November 2026. The estimated value is £27,500 excluding VAT (£33,000 including VAT). The requirement is a single lot. Participation is reserved for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises located in the UK. Tenders must use the official tender form and be submitted through The Chest; suppliers must register and have their application approved before they can access the opportunity. The published award criteria describe submission requirements but do not set out a scored evaluation basis.

This opportunity suits a lift engineering or specialist controls contractor able to replace and commission control systems and associated hardware for passenger lifts, then provide servicing and warranty support for the new systems during the first year. Suppliers should be equipped to work on two lifts at a public multi-storey car park and restore equipment that has been isolated because its control system is beyond repair. It is not suited to businesses seeking routine lift maintenance work alone, since that service is procured separately. The buyer has reserved participation for UK-based small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making the opportunity accessible to eligible specialist firms without the scale of a large multi-site programme. Offers require prior registration and approval on The Chest.
