Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council has initiated an open tender process for a Measured Term Contract concerning the service, maintenance, and repair of passenger, platform, and goods lifts throughout both housing and non-housing properties within the North Ayrshire area, including the Isles of Arran and Cumbrae. This tender falls within the general public services category, offering significant work involving regular inspections, servicing, testing, and certification, alongside reactive and emergency repairs available 24 hours a day, all year round. The procurement stage is currently at the 'Tender' phase, with the process concluding on 17th March 2026. Business entities can submit their electronic proposals following the guidelines provided on the Public Contracts Scotland website.

This procurement opportunity represents a substantial potential for growth, offering a total contract value of £400,000. Given the specificity and technical nature of the services required, businesses with expertise in lift maintenance, particularly those with membership from the Lift and Escalator Industry Association (LEIA) or similar, may find themselves well-suited to compete. The council emphasises both quality and price in the evaluation criteria, suggesting a balanced approach appreciated for satisfactory delivery. Sustained services in lift maintenance, repair, and a responsive emergency provision could benefit businesses with proven turnover and technical capacity as stipulated. Moreover, the possibility of contract renewal provides additional long-term engagement prospects for organisations able to meet the stringent selection criteria. Community benefits, including employment and skills development, are encouraged, supporting SMEs and educational interests, thereby fostering further economic and social advantages in the region.
