Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council bought comprehensive lift maintenance services for its requirements in Wirral. The work covers day-to-day responsive repairs, installations and planned maintenance, as well as lift servicing and out-of-hours emergency works. This is a services contract focused on keeping lifts operational and responding to faults, alongside installation and scheduled maintenance activity. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, rather than being divided into separate lots for different services or locations. The selected supplier is Knowsley Lift Services Ltd, a lift services business based in Merseyside. The requirement combines planned and reactive work, with emergency support outside normal hours, so it is relevant to lift maintenance providers able to deliver across these service types in the Wirral area.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Knowsley Lift Services Ltd. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026, at a value of £180,000. Its stated initial period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028, with an option to extend for up to two further years in annual increments. Wirral Council used a limited procedure through the YPO Dynamic Purchasing System for internal fit-out and maintenance, under its lift maintenance, inspection or specification category; there was no separate call for competition for this award. Evaluation weighted price at 50%, quality at 40% and social value at 10%. One bid was received, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically.

For suppliers tracking Wirral Council’s lift maintenance demand, this award demonstrates a requirement spanning responsive repairs, installation, planned maintenance, servicing and out-of-hours emergency work. A credible competitor would need to cover this mix of scheduled and urgent lift work in Wirral, with the operational capacity to respond to faults as well as maintain equipment routinely. The chosen route was a category within the YPO Dynamic Purchasing System, so familiarity with that route is relevant to competing for comparable requirements. Evaluation gave half the weighting to price and the remainder to quality and social value, making competitive pricing important alongside demonstrable service quality and a clear social value offer. The award went to an SME, showing that a smaller specialist provider was selected.
