Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University is procuring the design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of a refurbishment of the hydraulic passenger lift in its DH Lawrence Building in Nottingham. This is lift refurbishment and installation work, classified under CPV 45313000. The work concerns a single passenger lift and includes the design and manufacture of the refurbishment solution as well as its installation and commissioning. The delivery location is Nottingham Trent University’s DH Lawrence Building. The university is the buyer for the project.

The university invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The procurement reached the tender stage. The deadline for questions was 16 October 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for submitting offers was 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period was set to run from 1 August to 25 September 2027, with the revised programme calling for work to start on site in August 2027 and finish in September 2027. The estimated value is £80,000 gross. There is one lot, and award is based entirely on price, weighted at 100%.

The opportunity suits lift contractors able to design and manufacture a refurbishment for a hydraulic passenger lift, then carry out the installation and commissioning at a university building. The defined scope covers the full sequence from design through completed commissioning, so bidders need the capability to deliver these stages as an integrated works package. The work is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers with experience refurbishing hydraulic passenger lifts and the resources to complete a focused site project within the stated programme are well aligned to the requirement. The evaluation is price-only, making a competitive, clearly costed offer important; the buyer has not set out technical or quality scoring alongside price.
