Summary of the contracting process

Richmond upon Thames and Wandsworth councils are procuring lift maintenance services for Wandsworth Council housing and operational buildings in both boroughs. The work is divided into housing services for the central and eastern areas of Wandsworth, housing services for the southern and western areas of Richmond and Wandsworth, and lift maintenance across operational buildings in both boroughs. The requirement is for ongoing maintenance of lifts across these housing and council building portfolios. Richmond upon Thames Council is the named buyer, with Wandsworth Council also involved in the procurement.

The councils invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, with a pre-selection questionnaire stage. The enquiry deadline was 21 October 2026 at 12:00, and the offer deadline was 4 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period for all three lots is 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2032, with options described as “5 + 2 x 2 years” and a maximum extent to 31 August 2036. The estimated total value is £18,859,000 excluding VAT (£22,630,800 including VAT). Each lot is evaluated on price (60%), non-price quality (30%) and social value (10%). An electronic auction is part of the process.

The work suits lift-maintenance providers able to service housing portfolios and operational buildings across Richmond and Wandsworth. Suppliers can pursue the central/eastern Wandsworth housing lot, the southern/western housing lot covering Richmond and Wandsworth, or the operational-buildings lot; small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable for each. The three packages differ considerably in scale, from a smaller operational-buildings requirement to two substantial housing service areas, so providers can consider which portfolio matches their delivery capacity. Competition balances price with service quality and social value, making relevant maintenance capability and a credible approach to delivering wider social benefits important to a strong bid. The contract offers a long-term service opportunity with possible extensions.
