## Summary

The Department for Work & Pensions (DWP), located at Caxton House, London, is undertaking a procurement process for Lift Technical Audit Services 2, involving maintenance audits and compliance checks across their estate of approximately 800 sites in the UK. This procurement falls under the industry categories of lifts and building management services. The process was conducted using an open procedure with an award date of 19th May 2026, resulting in a contract with TUV SUD Ltd for services extending from 18th June 2026 to 17th June 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030. The contract has a value of £405,886.32 for the initial term, expected to rise to £710,301.06 including extensions, adhering to an evaluation based on technical merit (90%) and social value (10%). Key dates of interest included enquiry and tender end dates on 9th January 2026 and 23rd January 2026, respectively. 

This tender provides significant business opportunities, especially for firms specialising in lift maintenance and technical auditing services. Given the scale of DWP’s estate, larger enterprises capable of handling extensive audits and compliance checks efficiently could compete advantageously. Furthermore, the engagement requires additional capabilities for providing ad-hoc services such as emergency surveys and technical support. This procurement approach, focused on competitive technical evaluation and price quality balance, encourages innovation and efficiency, aligning with businesses committed to delivering high-quality services in the public sector domain. Opportunities also arise in the long-term engagement potential through contract extensions, demonstrating a stable partnership opportunity for qualified suppliers.
