Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University is procuring the design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of a replacement vertical lifting platform in Bonington Gallery. This is a lift installation works contract, covering the replacement platform and its installation and commissioning. The delivery location is Nottingham Trent University’s Bonington Gallery in Nottingham. The work is intended to replace the existing vertical lifting platform; suppliers should assess their fit against the full technical requirements and scope in the tender documents before deciding whether to pursue it.

The university invited offers through an open competition under the below-threshold procedure. The tender set a deadline for questions of 21 October 2026 at 12:00 and a bid deadline of 28 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is scheduled to run from 1 July to 27 August 2027. The estimated contract value is £50,000 gross. The procurement is a single lot, and award is based entirely on price, weighted at 100%. Electronic submission is permitted. The tender was issued under the Procurement Act 2023.

This requirement is suited to small and medium-sized businesses, and the single-lot structure offers a defined project for a supplier able to deliver the full package. Strong candidates will be able to design and manufacture a vertical lifting platform, install it in an existing gallery setting, and commission it ready for use. The scope calls for coordinated delivery across these stages, so relevant lift engineering and installation capability is central. The published evaluation gives all weighting to price, making cost competitiveness the sole stated award factor. The work is a relatively contained installation project rather than a broad, multi-site programme; suppliers should ensure they can resource design, manufacture, site installation and commissioning within the planned contract period.
