The requirement arose because the existing control equipment is ageing and parts are becoming obsolete; the modernisation is intended to extend the working life of the current lifts. This is lift installation and control-system work, classified under CPV 45313100. The work is associated with Newcastle upon Tyne, where the council is based, and concerns two named residential or public buildings: Shieldfield House and Vale House. The buyer is Newcastle City Council, a regional local authority. The requirement was structured as a single lot, covering the lift control modernisation across both properties. The selected supplier was KONE PLC, whose registered locality is Woking. The procurement has been awarded. Newcastle City Council selected KONE PLC, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 for £628,620.22. The award relates to a call-off from the NEPO 408 multi-supplier framework, using a closed further competition among capable appointed suppliers rather than a publicly advertised call for competition. Two bids were recorded. Evaluation gave 60% weight to price and 40% to quality. The underlying requirement was treated as a restricted-procedure outcome with no suitable tenders or requests to participate, while the framework itself had been publicly advertised and competed. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although an active award and signed contract are published against it. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. This procurement demonstrates substantial council demand for specialist lift-control modernisation rather than routine servicing alone. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical expertise in replacing or upgrading ageing lift control equipment, dealing with obsolete parts and extending the service life of existing lift installations. The requirement also points to the importance of working across more than one occupied building and coordinating delivery for a public-sector property portfolio. Suppliers would need to compete through, or secure appointment to, an appropriate multi-supplier framework capable of supporting closed further competitions. The evaluation balance shows that technical quality mattered alongside price, so evidence of reliable engineering methods, safe installation, compatibility with existing lift systems and effective project delivery would be commercially relevant when this buyer next requires similar work. ## Notice Due to the age of the control equipment and parts becoming obsolete it is recommended to modernise this equipment to prolong the life of the current lifts ### Lot Information Lot 1 Due to the age of the control equipment and parts becoming obsolete it is recommended to modernise this equipment to prolong the life of the current lifts ### Procurement Information The requirement to publish a prior call for competition / public tender notice does not apply to this specific award because it is a call-off contract from a validly established multi-supplier framework agreement NEPO 408. A closed further competition (mini-competition) was conducted among the capable suppliers appointed to the framework. The underlying framework agreement was itself subject to full prior public advertising and competition in accordance with procurement regulations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077099-2026 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £628,620 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Newcastle City Council | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Postcode area | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE1 8QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Monument | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | KONE PLC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45313100 - Lift installation work ## Release History - 13 Aug 2026 at 10:39 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077099-2026 ## Notice URLs - http://www.newcastle.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
