Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation procured lift-maintenance services for two housing areas: its Housing Revenue Account (HRA) stock and the Barbican Residential Estate in London. The work covers regular servicing to meet regulatory and legislative requirements, planned preventative maintenance, and reactive repairs, including breakdowns and passenger entrapments. Suppliers must provide both in-hours and out-of-hours coverage, with service levels and performance measures governing response priorities and time limits. The requirement is focused on maintaining residential lifts and responding to faults and emergencies across these two locations.

The procurement is complete and was run as a mini-competition through the SEC Lift Maintenance Framework. Three bids were recorded for each lot, and price was the stated award criterion. For the Barbican Residential Estate, Guideline Lift Services Ltd was selected; the contract was signed on 15 September 2026, with a value of £1,229,066. For the HRA requirement, Precision Lift Services Ltd was selected for £526,650, with a contract date of 17 February 2026, but agreement on terms was not reached and no contract was signed. The HRA award therefore did not proceed to a signed contract. No contract duration is stated.

This procurement shows the City of London Corporation’s continuing operational need for lift servicing, planned preventative maintenance and urgent response across residential properties, including the Barbican Estate and HRA housing. A credible supplier for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to maintain lifts in line with applicable regulations and legislation, provide reliable in-hours and out-of-hours coverage, and handle breakdowns and passenger entrapments. Capacity to meet strict response priorities and time limits, and to report performance against service levels and key performance measures, is central to the requirement. The mini-competition was run through the SEC Lift Maintenance Framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete on price are commercially important. Two suppliers were selected across the lots, although one selection did not result in a signed contract.
