Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council is procuring works to replace the passenger lift at Banff Academy in Banff, Aberdeenshire. The requirement covers removing and disposing of the existing lift, then supplying and fitting a replacement passenger lift. This is a specialist building-services and lift-installation project, classified under CPV 45000000 for construction work. The work will be carried out at the school site and is intended to restore or provide passenger-lift facilities within the academy. The procurement is arranged as a single requirement covering both the removal and disposal activities and the complete supply and installation of the new lift. Businesses involved in lift replacement, installation and associated construction works should consider this opportunity.

The process reached tender: Aberdeenshire Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 19 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time and the award period beginning then. The contract period is 30 days. The stated value is £110,000 GBP. Bids must remain valid for 90 days and be submitted in English. An electronic catalogue is required and variants are not allowed. Evaluation covers suitability, technical capability and economic standing. The lift supplier or its subcontractor must be certified to supply and install the lift. Financial probity will be checked independently, with further checks possible after an unsatisfactory credit report.

This opportunity suits lift manufacturers, specialist lift replacement contractors and building-services firms able to manage removal, disposal, supply and installation as one package. A business may also compete with a certified lift specialist as its subcontractor, but the supplier or subcontractor undertaking the lift supply and installation must hold the required certification. The buyer expects bidders to identify the staff assigned to the work and provide their professional qualifications, so firms need an appropriately qualified delivery team. Participation is reserved for sheltered workshops, making the requirement particularly relevant to eligible organisations in that sector or to businesses structured to meet the applicable reserved-participation conditions. Firms should also be prepared for formal financial probity checks and electronic tendering requirements.
