Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured works to modernise existing passenger lift installations across multiple multi-storey buildings and sheltered housing units. The requirement covers lift modernisation at various sites within the Perth and Kinross Council area, including sheltered housing. This is a building-services and vertical-transportation works opportunity, classified under CPV 45000000 for construction work. The council is the buying organisation and the works are intended for its buildings and housing facilities. The requirement is suited to lift modernisation contractors able to manage work across multiple occupied or operational sites, coordinate site activity and deliver upgrades to existing passenger lift systems. The scope is a single requirement rather than a set of separately described service categories, with the works linked to one council-wide delivery area.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed at noon on 1 May 2026, with evaluation beginning the same day; five electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. The award was made to Classic Lifts (Scotland) Ltd on 1 July 2026. The estimated lot value was £850,000, while the active contract value is £860,349. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 22 September 2027, covering 64 weeks of works plus a 12-month defects period per site. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. The successful supplier must provide named staff and qualifications. Electronic payment and ordering apply, and electronic invoicing is allowed. Bids had to remain valid for 90 days.

This award indicates established demand from Perth & Kinross Council for substantial, multi-site passenger-lift modernisation in sheltered housing and other multi-storey buildings. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable experience delivering at least two similar-sized sheltered-housing lift modernisation contracts within the previous five years, together with LEIA membership. Strong delivery systems are important: bidders were expected to evidence quality management, health and safety, and environmental management arrangements, through recognised certification or documented procedures. Relevant benchmarks included ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or EMAS, and suitable construction safety-scheme recognition. Financial resilience and insurance capacity are also central, alongside the ability to manage subcontracting transparently. The successful market profile is therefore a qualified lift specialist with reliable site delivery, compliance controls and the capacity to coordinate multiple council locations.
