## Summary

Huntingdonshire District Council is procuring lift servicing and maintenance for lifts in properties it owns, including potential refurbishment work. This is a specialist building-services requirement covering the ongoing maintenance of lift equipment rather than the supply of general facilities-management services. Delivery is across the council’s estate in Huntingdonshire and Cambridgeshire. The buyer is Huntingdonshire District Council, a local public authority based in Huntingdon. The requirement is relevant to lift maintenance contractors, lift engineering companies and firms able to undertake associated refurbishment works for public-sector buildings. Suppliers would need to operate across the council’s property portfolio and provide both planned servicing and responsive maintenance, with the capability to carry out refurbishment where required.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. Huntingdonshire District Council selected PICKERINGS EUROPE LIMITED under a competitive award from a framework, using a selective procedure. The award date is 13 August 2026. The awarded value is £200,000 excluding VAT, or £240,000 including VAT. The standstill period ends on 24 August 2026, with contract signature scheduled by 15 September 2026. The contract is planned to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with renewal rights for two further 12-month periods and a maximum end date of 31 October 2030. The award is for the council’s lift maintenance requirement across its estate.

This outcome confirms demand from Huntingdonshire District Council for a dedicated lift maintenance supplier covering council-owned properties, with possible refurbishment work alongside servicing. The selected supplier, PICKERINGS EUROPE LIMITED, is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist independent business rather than only a national facilities-management group. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable lift engineering capability, resources to maintain equipment across a public property estate, and the capacity to deliver planned servicing and maintenance reliably over a multi-year arrangement. Experience managing refurbishment projects would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where existing lifts require improvement or modernisation as part of the maintenance service.
