## Summary

Portsmouth City Council has awarded a contract for a feasibility study on the lift replacement at Spinnaker Tower, located in Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth. This project, conducted under Lot 5 of Fusion21's Lifts Framework, follows a selective procurement method through a restricted procedure. The aim is to assess design options for the lift replacement to ensure resilience. The contract spans from 14th August 2025 to 7th November 2025, with key stages like site surveys and report preparation occurring in September and October 2025. Cundall has been appointed to undertake this project, highlighting its expertise in design consultancy services within the South East of England, a competitive process only open to framework-appointed suppliers for this region. The award was officially made on 15th August 2025.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in design and operational improvement projects. Businesses experienced in developing resilient infrastructure systems could find potential growth in similar future projects managed by Portsmouth City Council or other public sector organisations. Whilst SMEs and VCSEs were not prioritised for this particular opportunity, larger consultancies with proven expertise in lift systems design and public infrastructure projects are well-suited to compete in such frameworks managed via consortia like Fusion21. Contributing to infrastructure enhancements for major landmarks like the Spinnaker Tower can bolster a firm’s portfolio and bolster reputation within the public sector market.
