Lift Replacement, Upgrade and Installation Works Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)
Authority: Orbit Group Limited (Public body)
What is being bought2 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionOrbit Group (“Orbit”) is seeking to appoint experienced and highly competent Service Providers onto a Dynamic Purchasing System (“DPS”) for lift replacement, upgrade and installation works in the Midlands and East and South regions. The scope will cover passenger lifts, and stairlifts, platform lifts, through floor lifts, hoists and slings. This DPS may then be used to conduct mini competitions for future requirements. Service Providers should be aware that being permitted onto this DPS is not a guarantee of any work.
Orbit has a schedule of lift replacement works to be carried out in a minimum of 198 of its properties in the Midlands and East and South regions between 2024 – 2028. This is a key part of our annual property improvement programme and is critical in identifying poor performing/old infrastructures that are due to be upgraded.
The projected value of these works is £4.77 million (exc. VAT). The maximum capped value of this DPS is £7 million (exc. VAT). The DPS term is 4 years and 2 months. As this is a DPS, suppliers can apply to onboard at any time.
Orbit will procure lift replacement works as required and may choose to procure as individual projects or in projects containing multiple sites. Each project will be awarded under a JCT Intermediate Building Contract with Contractor’s Design 2016, with Orbit’s schedule of amendments.
Please see the tender documentation for further details.

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.
