## Summary

Durham County Council has completed a procurement process for a framework agreement concerning the survey, design, supply, installation, removal, reconditioning, re-siting, and/or storage of external platform lifts, classified under the "Construction work" category. The procurement adopted an open procedure method, with the process recently reaching the award stage. Located within regions including UKC through UKK, the framework agreement is set to span four years, involving several contracting authorities through service level agreements. The framework will appoint two organisations, one main and one reserve, based on the highest weighted overall scores, catering specifically to Durham and additional collaborative councils.

This framework fosters substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the construction and lift installation sector. Organisations offering competitive pricing and high-quality delivery stand an advantageous chance as the award criteria emphasise pricing (70%) and quality (30%). With approval for up to two contractors, it provides a supportive platform for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Terry Group Limited and TK Access Solutions Limited, both designated as active suppliers, to extend services across multiple locations and furthers the potential for regional development and collaboration in platform lift infrastructure.
