UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service is seeking servicing and maintenance of passenger lifts installed across its estate. This is a lift maintenance service, covering the service’s lift equipment rather than a supply of new lifts. The buying organisation is South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, based in Llantrisant. Delivery is across the United Kingdom according to the stated location. The procurement is a single requirement for this service; the lot covers the lift maintenance work as a whole.

The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open competition. The enquiry deadline was 23 October 2026 at 17:00, and the offer submission deadline was 30 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with an option to extend for up to 24 additional months, to a maximum end date of 30 November 2031. The estimated value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). Price for the initial three-year term carries 60% of the evaluation score; resources 16%, out-of-hours call-out 12%, spare-parts availability 8%, and works in progress 4%. Selection requirements are set out in the quotation documents.

This requirement suits lift maintenance contractors able to service passenger lifts and maintain reliable coverage across the fire service’s estate. Bidders need to demonstrate adequate resources, provide out-of-hours call-out support and ensure spare parts are available; these capabilities together account for 36% of the evaluation. The buyer also assesses works in progress, so suppliers should be able to explain how they will manage ongoing work alongside this contract. Price is the largest single evaluation element, but quality measures account for 40% overall. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable. The required selection criteria are described in the quotation documents, so suppliers should consult those requirements to assess their qualifications and capacity.
