## Summary

Nottingham Trent University has awarded a contract for the maintenance and repair of Schindler passenger and catering lifts, located in Nottingham, United Kingdom. The contract, titled "Schindler Lift Maintenance," falls under the services industry category, specifically repair and maintenance services. The procurement process was conducted using a direct award method due to the specialised knowledge and proprietary software required for servicing these lifts. The award was announced on 25th February 2026, marking the procurement stage as complete, with the contract running from 25th February 2026 until 30th July 2030.

This direct award to SCHINDLER LTD. provides a unique opportunity for businesses involved in specialised lift technology and maintenance services. Companies possessing expertise in proprietary lift systems and with access to specific software updates and spare parts could find similar niche opportunities in targeted sectors. Although the contract focuses on maintenance services with Schindler’s unique operational requirements, businesses specialising in similar technology-driven services and repairs may find growth potential through collaboration or subcontracting arrangements, given Schindler’s monopoly over its specific lift components.

## Notice

Maintenance, service and comprehensive repair agreement to cover Schindler made passenger and catering lifts for a five year period on a scheduled and reactive basis.

### Procurement Information

Schindler lifts provide and install operational software updates as appropriate to the lifts. This software is not available legally to other parties and specialist knowledge is required for the correct installation and operational support of software updates. The lifts intelligent call system (unique to Schindler) relies on the software for its operation. Schindler lifts have sole rights to the spare parts required for the continued safe operation of the lifts, and as such charge premium rates for their parts to third parties and have control over the timeframe for supply. The Newton Tower lifts have been operational now for around 16 years and could require major repairs over the next five years, including replacement drives, ropes, brakes, etc.
