## Summary

Barcud Shared Services is buying maintenance and support for the vertical transportation systems listed in the equipment schedules. This is a lift-maintenance services contract covering assets operated by Barcud Shared Services, United Welsh and Beacon Cymru Group. The work is delivered in Wales, for housing organisations based in Cardiff, Caerphilly and Swansea. The requirement is for planned and responsive maintenance and associated support of lift systems, with the detailed equipment, service requirements and pricing arrangements set out in the maintenance specification and pricing matrices. It is a services opportunity suited to lift maintenance contractors, specialist vertical transportation providers and businesses able to support equipment across multiple housing providers. The contract is a single package covering the full listed requirement rather than separate geographic or service lots.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyers invited offers through an open procedure. It has one lot and is above the relevant threshold. The estimated value is £1,235,000 excluding VAT, or £1,482,000 including VAT. Questions had to be submitted by 5 October 2026 at 4:00 pm, and offers by 12 October 2026 at noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with renewal options described as 1+1 and a maximum extent date of 30 November 2031. The anticipated award decision date is 19 October 2026. Evaluation is weighted 60% price and 40% quality. Economic and technical selection requirements are set out in the invitation to tender. Electronic submission in English is allowed.

This opportunity suits established lift and vertical transportation maintenance specialists able to take responsibility for a multi-organisation housing portfolio. Bidders need the technical capability to maintain and support the equipment identified in the schedules, and the economic capacity to deliver a single contract covering the participating organisations. The tender documents include foundation questions, quality questions, a maintenance specification and separate pricing matrices for United Welsh Housing Association and Beacon Cymru Group, so suppliers should be prepared to provide both service responses and detailed pricing against the required equipment and activities. Quality contributes 40% of the evaluation, giving weight to the proposed delivery approach alongside price. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
