## Summary

The procurement process is led by South Lanarkshire Council, which has contracted Orona Ltd for the service, maintenance, and repair of closed protocol lift installations across 26 properties in the South Lanarkshire area. The tender, titled "Service, Maintenance and Repair of Closed Protocol Lift Installations," is classified under the services industry category. This procurement was conducted via a limited method, awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the technical specificity of the closed protocol systems. The contract has been signed as of November 19, 2021, valued at £605,020, and is set for a duration of five years with the option for a further five-year extension based on satisfactory performance and funding availability.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in lift servicing and maintenance, who have the requisite expertise and qualifications to work with closed protocol systems like those installed by Orona Ltd. Companies that are experienced in maintaining such bespoke technological installations would be well-positioned to compete, particularly as the council continues to ensure the safety and compliance of these systems under current legislation. With only one bid received for this contract, it illustrates how niche opportunities in public procurement can lead to sustained business growth for those with the necessary technical capabilities.

## Notice

The Council have closed protocol lift systems in 26 of their properties throughout the Council area installed by Orona Ltd (Orona), as a result of an architect's design, when the properties were built. The Council therefore requires to procure a contract with Orona to undertake all inspections, servicing, and maintenance of the lifts, lift shafts and equipment in those properties. This includes all certification together with the repair and/or replacement of missing or defective equipment identified during maintenance visits or call outs or through occupational use, mis-use, wear and tear or vandalism to the Council properties. The contractor will ensure that the lift installations are kept to a safe and acceptable standard under current legislation.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The award of this contract under the Negotiated Tendering Procedure can be justified under Regulation 33(1) of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 for the following reason:- The services can only be supplied by a particular contractor because competition is absent for technical reasons and no alternative or substitute exists, and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.. The contract being awarded is for 5 years with an optional extension of up to 5 years subject to satisfactory performance, financial standing and availability of funding

### Procurement Information

The lift installations installed in 26 Council properties by Orona are 'closed protocol' systems. The lift installations are stand-alone systems where the device manufacturer produces all the devices and control panels for the complete network and there is no compatibility with any other manufacturer's components. Therefore, the closed protocol lift installations can only be serviced, maintained, and repaired by qualified engineers from Orona Ltd.
