Based in Nottingham, UKF14, the council aimed to engage an independent consultancy with expertise in elevators, escalators, and access equipment management. Although originally scheduled to close on 18 September 2025 and expected to proceed with an award by 24 September 2025, the procurement process was cancelled on 4 September 2025 due to alignment with revised priorities. The procurement, initially conducted through an open procedure, was designed as a service contract valued at £220,000. This procurement presented growth opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in lift management and technical services, especially those collaborating with architects on innovative lift solutions. It was particularly suited for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), thus encouraging a competitive environment for smaller and community-focused organisations. Despite the cancellation, businesses with relevant expertise are advised to look out for future opportunities that the council plans to issue to meet its strategic objectives. ## Notice Nottingham City Council are seeking a fully independent specialist elevator, escalator and access equipment consultancy service, to support the management of passenger lifts and domestic lifts across its portfolio. The consultancy shall have a wealth of experience in developing and delivering lift, escalator and access solutions for the built environment. The Practice consultants shall be experienced in dealing with the particular challenges of all types and sizes of project from large scale & high-rise to single lifts. The consultants may have to work with architects and apply their knowledge to the latest innovations and advances within the lift industry to assist Nottingham City Council with their particular maintenance management functions and project delivery as required. Further information on the scope of services can be located in the tender pack published on Proactis. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053859-2025 | | Notice type | UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | 18 Sep 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2025 - 1 Oct 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £220,000 | | Lots value | £220,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Cancelled | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | Missing | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG2 3NG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham East | | Delivery location | TLF14 Nottingham | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 42416100 - Lifts - 71600000 - Technical testing, analysis and consultancy services ## Release History - 4 Sep 2025 at 10:57 - TenderCancellation - UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053859-2025 - 4 Sep 2025 at 10:55 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053856-2025 - 21 Aug 2025 at 13:28 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050556-2025 - 21 Aug 2025 at 10:05 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050446-2025 - 6 Aug 2025 at 15:32 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046678-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053859-2025 4th September 2025 - Procurement termination notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053856-2025 4th September 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050556-2025 21st August 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050446-2025 21st August 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046678-2025 6th August 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com - https://procontract.due-north.comProactisContractTitle:CPU7400ConsultancyServicesforLifts - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
