Provision of Lift and Lifting Equipment Servicing, Maintenance and Reactive Repairs including Planned Installation and Refurbishments
Authority: Amplius Living (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionAmplius is preparing to undertake a procurement exercise to appoint suitably qualified Contractors to provide lift and lift equipment inspection, servicing, planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance, repairs, and associated services across our residential property portfolio.
We welcome feedback and engagement from all interested Contractors, including established providers, specialist firms, and SMEs operating across our regions. Through this engagement, we are seeking to gain valuable market insight that will help inform our procurement strategy and ensure the resulting opportunity is attractive, deliverable, and beneficial to both our customers and service providers.
The scope of works is anticipated to include lift servicing, maintenance, and associated works across Amplius' property portfolio, located across various locations within our operating geography. The contract will primarily cover planned preventative maintenance (PPM), statutory compliance inspections (including LOLER where applicable), and reactive repairs for a range of lifting and access systems. These include passenger lifts, through floor lifts, stair lifts, hoists, personal lifting appliances, roller shutters, and fixed ladder systems requiring inspection. The scope will also include ancillary works such as minor refurbishment, component replacement, and lift installations where required. The procurement is expected to be structured as a services contract, with maintenance forming the core requirement, supporting safe, compliant, and reliable operation of lifting and access equipment across the organisation’s housing stock.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 48 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
