## Summary

Cheshire East Council has awarded a contract for the servicing and maintenance of lifts and hoists to Concept Elevators (UK) Limited, trading as Andwis Lifts. This procurement process falls within the services category and has been designated as 'complete'. The contract will operate from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2027, covering lift maintenance services in the Cheshire East region, specifically funded by Disabled Facilities Grants. The procurement method utilised was a direct award, conducted below the threshold and without competition, due to the need for continued delivery of a safety-critical service while the Council reviews long-term service options. This has been deemed essential to avoid any disruption to over 400 residents reliant on these services.

This tender provides significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in lift maintenance services. Companies with a track record of high performance and cost-effective solutions, especially those capable of offering additional value through equipment reuse or component replacement, would be well-suited to similar future opportunities with the Council. The procurement decision underscores the importance of delivering high-quality, reliable service and offers insights into market needs and procurement priorities that could guide business strategy and service offerings.

## Notice

This contract covers the servicing, maintenance and repair of electric-powered lifts and hoists installed in the homes of Cheshire East residents, funded via Disabled Facilities Grants. The requirement relates to equipment that is out of warranty and must be maintained in accordance with manufacturer guidelines to ensure continued safe operation for vulnerable residents. The contract has been awarded without competition to the incumbent supplier to ensure continuity of a safety-critical service while the Council undertakes a comprehensive review of future service delivery options. The existing contract had reached its maximum term, and there was insufficient time to undertake full consultation and implement a revised commissioning approach without risking disruption to service delivery for over 400 residents. A range of alternative options have been explored, including full competitive tendering, use of national frameworks, and cessation or redesign of the service. However, these options were assessed as unsuitable for a short-term arrangement due to market limitations, timescales, increased costs, and the risk of service disruption. The incumbent provider has demonstrated consistently high performance, meeting or exceeding all contractual KPIs with no quality concerns or complaints. The provider also offers additional value for money through reuse of equipment and components, delivering cost savings to the Council. This direct award is for a period of 12 months only and is intended to provide sufficient time for the Council to undertake detailed option appraisal, stakeholder engagement and consultation to determine the most appropriate long-term approach to service delivery.
