Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow School of Art procured lift maintenance services for its facilities in Glasgow. The requirement covers the maintenance of lifts rather than the supply of new equipment or construction works. It is a single-service requirement, with the school acting as the buying organisation. The work is relevant to lift maintenance contractors and facilities engineering businesses able to maintain and support lift systems in an education setting. The published classification also covers computer-related services, although the stated procurement title and description identify lift maintenance as the principal requirement. The buyer is an education organisation and a central purchasing body, so suppliers serving public-sector estates and institutional buildings may find the requirement particularly relevant to their market experience.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure. It comprised one lot for lift maintenance, with the lot recorded as complete. RJ Lifts Group Limited was selected as supplier. The contract value is £50,043 including the stated currency of GBP, and the contract was signed on 30 July 2026. The contract is recorded as active. One bid was received; it was submitted electronically and came from a non-EU foreign bidder. No small or medium-sized enterprise bid was recorded. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The outcome shows that the buyer evaluated a single offer for a defined lift-maintenance requirement and proceeded to contract with the named supplier.

This award is useful market evidence for lift maintenance contractors monitoring public-sector estates in Glasgow and the wider education sector. A credible competitor would need practical capability to maintain lift installations safely and reliably, manage planned and reactive maintenance, and support continued operation in an occupied institutional building. Experience of working for public bodies or organisations with formal procurement controls would strengthen a future response. The award also indicates that the buyer accepted an electronically submitted offer through an open competition, so suppliers should be equipped for formal tendering and digital bid submission. Businesses with established lift engineering operations, appropriate technical personnel, responsive service capacity and experience maintaining several building assets would be well placed when this buyer next tests the same requirement.
