Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification

Schindler lifts provide and install operational software updates as appropriate to the lifts. This software is not available legally to other parties and specialist knowledge is required for the correct installation and operational support of software updates. The lifts intelligent call system (unique to Schindler) relies on the software for its operation. Schindler lifts have sole rights to the spare parts required for the continued safe operation of the lifts, and as such charge premium rates for their parts to third parties and have control over the timeframe for supply. The Newton Tower lifts have been operational now for around 16 years and could require major repairs over the next five years, including replacement drives, ropes, brakes, etc.
