## Summary

The procurement process for passenger lift refurbishment at Redmonds Building, managed by Liverpool John Moores University, falls under the industry category for lifts. It is located in Liverpool, United Kingdom, and has reached the award stage as of 10th April 2025. The procurement was conducted through a direct method without competition, with a contract awarded to Otis Limited for the amount of £35,000 including VAT. The refurbishment is essential due to obsolete parts and an operational lift being crucial for subsequent air conditioning works commencing in May 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in lift repairs and refurbishments, particularly those capable of sourcing specific components internationally. SMEs engaged in hard facilities management or associated mechanical services would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders within this sector. Given the essential nature of the lift in the Redmonds Building for facilitating other construction projects, businesses that can offer reliable and timely repair services stand to benefit through enhanced visibility and potential future contracts with Liverpool John Moores University and associated public sector organisations.

## Notice

The passenger lift at Redmonds building was reported to LJMU estates as there was a loud grinding sound when the lift was in operation. Hard FM contractor (Atlas Services previously Salisbury) sent their lift engineer (Pickering's) out to investigate the noise. Pickering's reported back the lift is a closed protocol system direct with Otis Lift Services and a large refurbishment will be required due to obsolete parts. We contacted Otis Lift services and met the engineer onsite to review the fault. The Otis engineer diagnosed the fault with the bearings and recommended the lift could be repaired; however the part will have to be sourced from their Spanish factory because of the model of our lift. The works will be PS35K including VAT to remove existing motor and fully replace the Obsolete Gen 2 Machine, following the Installation Otis will carry out a full load test. The lift will then need to be tested by one of Otis test engineers as they have replaced a main component. There is a 30-day lead in time for the part and this part can only be sourced by Otis. Unfortunately, the lift is the only lift at Redmonds that rises to the roof area. There are planned air conditioning works due to commence onsite in May 2025 that involves contractors working on the roof, an operational lift is essential to assist the project.
