## Summary

The Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre, located in London, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for the service and maintenance of passenger and goods lifts. The procurement, led by the public authority under central government classification, was carried out through a direct award method. This decision was necessitated by the need to include all lifts within the building under a single contract to maintain commercial viability. Vertical Movement Services Limited, based in Solihull, has been awarded the contract, which spans from 30 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with an option for renewal upon satisfactory performance. The contract, valued at GBP 370,390 net, was signed on 28 April 2026, with the total gross amount reaching GBP 444,468.

This tender provides ample opportunities for businesses in the lift maintenance services sector, particularly those with experience in handling legacy systems and comprehensive facility management. Companies that specialise in services and maintenance for commercial client operations may find this type of contract beneficial for expanding their business scope. SMEs, such as Vertical Movement Services Limited, were deemed suitable for providing their specialised technical expertise, ensuring the lifts at this prominent government trading fund are maintained efficiently. This procurement process underscores the importance of identifying reliable suppliers willing to manage complex systems, thereby enabling continuity in operations and mitigating potential financial disruptions during high-profile events hosted by the centre.

Servicing and maintenance of passenger and goods lifts at the QEII Centre

### Procurement Information

VMS Ltd is the only supplier who is willing to maintain the legacy goods lift at the QEII Centre. In isolation, maintenance of this lift is not commercially viable and therefore the QEII Centre has decided to incorporate all lifts within the building in the contract. Without the goods lift the operation of the Centre for its intended purpose would be severely curtailed.
