## Summary

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured lift upgrade services for Lister Hospital. The requirement falls within lift-maintenance services (CPV 50750000) and covers work at the hospital in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, within the NHS Trust’s estate. The procurement is categorised as a service and is intended to improve or upgrade existing lift infrastructure rather than provide a new building or general facilities-management service. The buying organisation is based in Welwyn Garden City and operates hospital facilities, so relevant suppliers are those able to deliver lift upgrade and associated maintenance work in a live healthcare environment. The requirement was handled as a call-off under the RM6237 Low Value Purchasing System framework.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement, using the RM6237 Low Value Purchasing System. The contract was awarded to V M Elevators Ltd on 13 September 2026 for £40,536.70 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 14 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The published procurement value was £40,536.70, with a minimum value of £40,000. The award was made for the lift upgrade requirement at Lister Hospital, and the selected supplier is recorded as an active award recipient. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers competing for comparable lift upgrade requirements from West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. A credible competitor would need practical capability in lift upgrading and maintenance, with the technical resources, engineering workforce and project management capacity to work on hospital premises. Experience of delivering safely in operational healthcare environments would be commercially relevant, particularly where access, continuity of service and coordination with hospital teams affect delivery. Suppliers would also need to understand how to secure work through the relevant framework call-off route rather than relying solely on open-market tendering. The successful supplier’s SME status shows that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a specialist elevator business, although the procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.
