## Summary

The procurement process for Swansea University's "SU74(26) Kier Hardie Lift Replacement Works" has reached the award stage. As a public authority operating under Welsh devolved regulations, Swansea University sought contractors for the replacement of lifts in the Kier Hardie Building, Singleton Campus. The procurement followed an open competition method with a focus on construction work, and involved the complete replacement of the existing duplex pair of lifts. Published initially at the tender stage on 10th November 2025, the tender process concluded with the contract award on 10th March 2026. The project's contract will begin on 16th March 2026 and is expected to complete by 3rd July 2026, with the awarded contractor being Kone PLC.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses in the construction and engineering sectors, particularly those with expertise in lift installation and maintenance. The project's open competition structure, combined with its focus on both price and technical quality, was well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), although no VCSEs participated in the final bid stages. Future similar tenders can provide growth opportunities for SMEs that can offer competitive pricing and high-quality technical solutions in construction or specialised services such as lift replacements. Engaging in these procurement processes allows businesses to expand their portfolios while working with reputable institutions like Swansea University.
