Summary of the contracting process

River Clyde Homes procured comprehensive lift maintenance services for its housing properties across Inverclyde. The requirement covers planned preventative maintenance and servicing for about 55 passenger lifts in high-rise and low-rise buildings, together with emergency call-outs and repairs. The inclusive arrangement covers an annual charge per lift, planned maintenance visits, repair call-outs, labour inside and outside normal working hours, and parts, excluding major refurbishments. The main service classification is lift maintenance (CPV 50750000). The buyer is River Clyde Homes, a public-law housing organisation based in Greenock. The work is therefore suited to lift engineering and maintenance contractors able to support a dispersed housing lift estate and provide responsive repair services as well as scheduled servicing.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. River Clyde Homes used an open procedure, with electronic bids, and awarded the single lot to Jackson Lift Services Limited. The award date was 4 May 2026; the contract was signed on 22 June 2026 and is active. Its value is £260,000. The initial contract period is 720 days, with an option for three further 12-month extensions at the buyer’s discretion. Evaluation included price, weighted at 40%, and methodology and approach, weighted at 35%. Bidders had to demonstrate suitable technical capacity and experience through the selection stage, be members of the Lift and Escalator Industry Association or an equivalent body, and provide staff names and qualifications. Five bids were received, including three from SMEs.

For a future requirement with River Clyde Homes, credible suppliers would need to deliver both routine lift engineering and responsive emergency support across a sizeable residential estate. The successful operating model requires comprehensive planned preventative maintenance, repairs, out-of-hours labour, and parts management under an inclusive service arrangement, while excluding major refurbishments. Relevant firms should be able to evidence technical capacity and experience on comparable passenger-lift portfolios, with enough qualified staff to provide reliable scheduled coverage and rapid call-outs. LEIA membership or an equivalent industry standing would be important, alongside clear staff qualifications. The competition also shows that smaller businesses can participate: three of the five bidders were SMEs. A strong methodology, practical service approach and competitive pricing would be central to credibility with this housing buyer.
