## Summary

Central Bedfordshire Council procured lift refurbishment and modernisation works at Manor Court in Caddington. The purpose was to restore the passenger lift to full operational use and improve its long-term reliability. The scope covers replacing and upgrading key components, including the control system, car and landing operating panels, door operator, shaft lighting, lift signalling and wiring systems, floor indication equipment and emergency lighting. It also includes associated safety upgrades, testing and commissioning. This is a building-services and lift installation requirement, classified under CPV 45313100. The work is specific to one passenger lift at Manor Court rather than a wider council-wide maintenance or replacement programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. RJ Lift Group Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 7 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £29,650 excluding VAT, or £35,580 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was conducted through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The requirement was treated as works, with the contract covering lift refurbishment and modernisation. The recorded outcome therefore identifies both the appointed specialist and the scale and duration of the council’s requirement.

This procurement indicates demand from Central Bedfordshire Council for specialist passenger-lift refurbishment rather than routine general building work. A credible future supplier would need the technical capability to diagnose and replace lift control, operating, door, signalling, lighting, wiring and floor-indication equipment, while also carrying out safety upgrades, testing and commissioning. Experience returning an impaired passenger lift to reliable operational service would be directly relevant. Suppliers should be able to manage a complete modernisation package for a single residential or public-sector lift, coordinate component replacement and demonstrate safe completion. The direct, below-threshold route also shows that smaller, clearly defined lift works may be bought without a full competition.
