The procurement falls within the services industry category and aims to transition passenger lift communication systems from analogue to digital to meet upcoming digital switchover requirements. The contract involves regions across the UK, particularly in Sheffield, and was originally planned to start on 1st August 2025. The procedure involved open procurement and, initially, the tender invitation was actively open, with submissions due by 15th July 2025, and the anticipated award period closing on 24th September 2025. However, as of 21st August 2025, the procurement process has been completed, with a cancellation notice following the disqualification of all bidders due to non-compliance in document submission. This procurement opportunity presents substantial growth prospects for businesses experienced in digital communication transformations, particularly those focusing on lift systems, software packages, and installation services. The original value of the tender was estimated in the range of £350,900 to £421,080 gross. With the procurement process reopened due to the cancellation, businesses, especially SMEs, that offer innovative solutions for digital emergency communication and compliance with safety and regulatory frameworks, stand well-positioned to succeed. The open procedure allows these enterprises to compete effectively through an electronic submission via YORtender, ensuring a transparent bidding process tailored for companies adept at delivering technology-driven solutions in large building infrastructures. ## Notice As the digital switchover approaches, it is crucial to transition analogue phone lines in passenger lifts within Sheffield City Council's Housing and Corporate buildings to digital technology. Analogue lines are becoming obsolete with the shift to digital communications and telecommunication providers within the UK are starting to switch these analogue lines off. This produces risk to the Council as it will result in potential service disruptions for lift emergency communication systems. These systems are vital for safety, as they allow for quick communication in the event of an emergency. Switching to digital technology ensures that passenger lifts remain operational and compliant with safety regulations, whilst also providing more reliable, secure and efficient communication. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: Further licenses or additional modules for the back office system ### Planning Information Scope of the engagement was to identify suppliers within the market ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050395-2025 | | Notice type | UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Aug 2025 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jul 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2025 - 30 Sep 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £350,900 | | Lots value | £350,900 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Cancelled | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | Missing | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2HH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery - 48 - Software package and information systems - 51 - Installation services (except software) ### Codes - 42416100 - Lifts - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 51300000 - Installation services of communications equipment ## Release History - 21 Aug 2025 at 08:40 - TenderCancellation - UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050395-2025 - 20 Jun 2025 at 13:06 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034077-2025 - 20 Jun 2025 at 12:55 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034070-2025 - 16 Jun 2025 at 07:46 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032443-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050395-2025 21st August 2025 - Procurement termination notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034077-2025 20th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034070-2025 20th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032443-2025 16th June 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Supplier/PublicPurchase/94924/0/0?returnUrl=ctm/Supplier/PublicTenders&b=UK ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/viewtransaction.asp?TID=100306&PAGE=/ctm/Publication/Management/TenderForms/103424/2 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
