## Summary

Liverpool Experience Campus Ltd (LEX), a sub-central government public authority, has awarded a contract for "Access Equipment Hire" to the HSS Hire Group Plc. The procurement, handled through an open procedure, involved supplying electrically powered access equipment on a fixed-term Hire Purchase Agreement for three years, with an option to extend for an additional two years. The initial contract runs from 1st April 2026 through 31st March 2029, potentially extending until 31st March 2031. The tender, classified under 'goods', focuses on access platforms and is valued at a gross amount of £540,000 over five years. The procurement was completed on 16th June 2026 and supports operations at the ACC Liverpool Group based at King's Dock in Liverpool.

This contract opens various avenues for business growth, particularly for suppliers in the access equipment and construction sectors. Large enterprises specialising in access platforms or related goods would have been well-placed to bid, given the contract's substantial scope and financial background. Although only one supplier, HSS Hire Group Plc, succeeded, the procurement's open procedure facilitated inclusivity, offering equal opportunities for qualified businesses capable of fulfilling the contract requirements. Companies that can offer competitive pricing and high-quality products, particularly those familiar with public procurement processes, are well-suited for future tenders of this nature. Ideal candidates could also include SMEs, as the procurement method values pricing and quality, including social value components.
