Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council is procuring works to upgrade existing lift installations in Aberdeen. The requirement covers three multi-storey residential blocks and two low-rise residential blocks, under the project title Lift Replacement 2027. The work is classified as lift installation and replacement works (CPV 45313100) and is delivered for residential properties in Aberdeen. The scope includes the upgrading of existing installations rather than the supply of unrelated goods or general building services. Businesses should therefore have a relevant lift engineering, modernisation or replacement capability, with the resources to work across several occupied or operational residential locations. The procurement is for works, with the council acting as the buying organisation and contract administrator for delivery and reporting requirements.

The process reached tender: Aberdeen City Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It is arranged as one lot. The buyer set the tender deadline at 12:00 on 22 September 2026, with bids opened at that time, and bids must remain valid for 120 days. The contract period is 5 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. Variants are not allowed and the contract has no stated renewal or additional-purchase option. The tender includes a traction lift specification, bills of quantities, pre-construction information, location plans, a tender form and an award questionnaire. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Community-benefit commitments form part of delivery and include apprenticeship and skills-reporting obligations.

This opportunity suits lift manufacturers, specialist lift replacement contractors and engineering firms with experience modernising existing installations in residential buildings. Suitable suppliers will need to interpret and deliver a traction lift specification, price bills of quantities, plan works across three multi-storey and two low-rise blocks, and manage pre-construction and site-delivery requirements. The scale favours a contractor able to coordinate several locations and provide suitably skilled installation, engineering and project-management teams throughout the contract period. The successful contractor must take reasonable steps to employ apprentices, with a target of up to 5% of employees or a similar proportion of hours worked delivered through formal apprenticeships. It must also support wider skills development and provide reports on local employment, apprenticeships and training, including subcontractor activity.
