Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University is seeking a contractor to design, manufacture, install and commission a replacement rear traction passenger lift at its Confetti Antenna Building in Nottingham. This is lift installation and replacement work, covering the complete process from design through commissioning rather than installation alone. The requirement is for a passenger lift within the university’s building; delivery is in Nottingham.

The university invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement is for one lot, and the contract period is 25 October to 18 December 2026. The estimated gross value is £150,000. Suppliers could submit enquiries until 12 noon on 12 October 2026, and the submission deadline set by the buyer was 12 noon on 19 October 2026. Electronic submission was allowed. Award is based equally on price and technical capability, each weighted at 50%.

This opportunity is suited to lift contractors able to take responsibility for design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of a passenger lift, including work on a traction lift in an existing building. The equal weighting for technical capability and price means suppliers should be able to demonstrate a credible technical approach as well as competitive pricing. The single-lot requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to capable smaller lift businesses as well as larger firms. The delivery period calls for a contractor able to plan and complete the replacement within a concentrated programme.
