Summary of the contracting process

Bernicia Group is seeking a contractor to replace the existing lift at Hazel Court. The works cover decommissioning and safe removal of the current installation, disposal of the equipment, and supply and installation of a new machine-room-less traction lift. The contractor must test, commission and certify the system, including its mechanical, electrical, control and safety components. Associated building, electrical and finishing works may also be needed to enable installation and operation. The contractor must provide operation and maintenance manuals, staff training, warranties and defects-liability support. The delivery location is in the North East of England.

Bernicia invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition for a single lot. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 13 October 2026 at 12 noon and a submission deadline of 16 October 2026 at 12 noon. The planned contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The published estimated value is £0. Award is based on technical ability, cost and availability; further evaluation details are in the tender documents. Tenders are submitted through the In-Tend e-procurement portal. The process reached tender, meaning the buyer invited offers.

This requirement suits lift contractors with the technical capability and experience to remove and dispose of an existing installation, then deliver a complete replacement traction lift system. Suppliers need to manage mechanical, electrical, control and safety elements, and carry out testing, commissioning and certification against current statutory requirements, relevant British Standards and industry best practice. The work also calls for the capacity to coordinate any necessary building, electrical and finishing works, and to provide manuals, staff training, warranties and defects-liability support. The stated evaluation gives weight to technical ability and availability as well as cost, making delivery capability and suitable resources central considerations.
