The contract involves maintaining approximately 35 vehicles equipped with goods and wheelchair lifts, ensuring compliance with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998. The selection was made through an open procurement method, featuring below-threshold open competition targeting the service industry category. The contract, awarded to KEGE LIMITED, begins on 1st August 2026 and is set to run until 31st July 2029, with a possible 12-month extension available until July 2030. The contract's status is active, with a gross value of £103,200, mainly covering repair and maintenance services in the Liverpool region, specifically within UKD72. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs in the repair and maintenance sector to leverage their expertise and expand their business by engaging in high-value public contracts. KEGE LIMITED, having secured the contract as a supplier, demonstrates the open competitiveness of such government procurements, providing a reputable platform for businesses to establish relationships with local authorities like Liverpool City Council. Companies specialising in vehicle maintenance, particularly those equipped with tail lifts, would find projects of this nature beneficial for professional and financial growth, while closely aligning their operations with stringent regulatory and safety standards. The process encourages proactive business engagement through clearly set timelines, procurement stages, and supplier engagement, reinforcing a vibrant and competitive market environment. ## Notice The City Council operates approximately 35 vehicles that are fitted with goods lifts, wheelchair lifts, or ramps. To ensure compliance with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998, it is essential that all lifts undergo a statutory weight test annually, along with a thorough examination and inspection every six months by a competent person trained in tail lift maintenance. The current maintenance contract for tail lift maintenance is set to expire on 31/07/2026. In light of this, we need to begin the process of renewing the contract to ensure that our lifts are maintained according to statutory requirements and remain safe at all times ### Planning Information This procurement will be issued as an open tender on ProContract. All statutory and project‑specific notices will be published at the appropriate stages, containing all required information. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058862-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 30 Apr 2026 | | Future notice date | 27 Mar 2026 | | Award date | 4 Jun 2026 | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2026 - 31 Jul 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £103,200 | | Lots value | £103,200 | | Awards value | £86,000 | | Contracts value | £86,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LIVERPOOL CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 1DS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | Waterfront South | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | TLD72 Liverpool | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | KEGE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50000000 - Repair and maintenance services ## Release History - 23 Jun 2026 at 10:29 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058862-2026 - 9 Jun 2026 at 15:04 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/054417-2026 - 26 Mar 2026 at 15:07 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028047-2026 - 25 Mar 2026 at 14:12 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027371-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058862-2026 23rd June 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/054417-2026 9th June 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028047-2026 26th March 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027371-2026 25th March 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=53710939-5528-f111-813c-005056b64545 See link to tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-18127 ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
