## Summary

The University of Sunderland has completed an open procurement process for the modernisation of an electric traction passenger lift at its Edinburgh Building, located in Gateshead, UK. This process was governed under the legal framework UKPGA 2023/54 using an open procedure. The procurement entailed full refurbishment, including associated building works within the region UKC23. The tender concluded with an award to Jackson Lift Services, with the contract scheduled from 2nd March to 31st July 2026.

Key procurement stages concluded with the signing of the contract on 27th February 2026 and the award notice published on 5th February 2026.

The refurbishment project provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the lift and escalator installation sector.
