## Summary

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council is currently in the planning stage for a public procurement process concerning the provision of Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) and Reactive Maintenance (RM) Lift Services. This pre-market engagement is pivotal for the procurement of lift maintenance services in the Lisburn area, under Northern Irish devolved regulations. The council, identified by its code PHHT-5875-NTNM, aims to understand market interest and gather valuable insights before progressing to the formal tender stage. Businesses must submit their preliminary market engagement questionnaires via eTendersNI no later than 17th August 2026. This procurement involves services within the 'Lift and Escalator Installation Work' category and is slated for the contract period starting 1st April 2027 and ending by 31st March 2030, with possible extensions.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in lift maintenance and installation, especially those capable of providing comprehensive PPM and RM services. Companies with experience in government contracts, particularly under UK central and devolved regulations, will find this engagement advantageous to gauge forthcoming procurement opportunities. Participation in this preliminary exercise clarifies market dynamics without precluding future tender competition or favouring any provider. It is an opportune moment for service providers within the United Kingdom who have the capacity to fulfil multiservice contracts, to position themselves strategically for potential future engagement and contract acquisition with the Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council.

## Notice

Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a tender for the procurement of PPM and RM 09 - Lift Maintenance Services. LCCC wishes to engage with the market at this stage to establish the level of market interest and to gather information that will be beneficial in the tendering process. Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre-market engagement questionnaire. The questionnaire can be downloaded from the CfT Documents section. The questionnaire must be completed and submitted no later than the date and time specified on eTendersNI. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire. Any information gathered will NOT be considered in any future tender evaluation exercise. Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement shall not prevent any supplier/provider from participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier/ provider at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and there is no commitment, at this stage to carrying out such a process.
