OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) is seeking a specialist contractor to maintain and repair escalators and lifts across its estate in Glasgow, including all Subway stations, bus stations and corporate offices. This is a services contract covering the planned and reactive upkeep of passenger and building access equipment, classified under CPV 50740000 for lift and escalator maintenance and repair. The requirement applies throughout the SPT estate rather than to a single site. The successful contractor will support transport infrastructure and corporate facilities, with services delivered in Glasgow, Scotland. Electronic ordering and payment will be used, and the contract will operate under service-level agreements with low-service damages provisions. Community benefits and service decarbonisation proposals are also part of the requirement.

The procurement has reached tender: SPT invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The bid deadline is 23 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bids are opened at the same time in Glasgow, and evaluation is scheduled to start then. The contract period is 1,800 days, with renewal possible subject to performance and financial standing. SPT may also purchase additional related services from the appointed contractor without a limit on volume or value. Evaluation is based on price at 70% and technical quality at 30%; variants are not allowed. Bids must remain valid until 22 February 2027. The tender requires English-language submissions and allows electronic invoicing. No contract value is stated in the procurement information.

This opportunity suits established lift and escalator maintenance businesses able to cover a substantial multi-site transport and property estate in Glasgow. Bidders must provide names and qualifications for the staff assigned to the work, and demonstrate three similar assignments completed within the previous three years, preferably in a comparable environment and at a similar scale by volume and value. UK-based firms must be registered with Companies House, while overseas bidders must hold the relevant professional or trade registration in their home country. Financial standing must be evidenced either through a Dun & Bradstreet failure score of at least 51 or through specified profitability, liquidity and gearing tests, with mitigating factors considered in some cases. Contractors must address community benefits and explain how they will decarbonise service delivery where possible.
