Elevator Maintenance — Public Tenders
The maintenance and servicing of lift installations in public buildings is required by law and is tendered regularly. Public contracting authorities operate thousands of lifts in administrative buildings, hospitals, schools and public transport facilities. Tenders cover full-service maintenance contracts, partial-service maintenance, modernisations and replacement of installations.

Challenges in finding tenders
Some contracting authorities procure lift maintenance as part of technical building management (TBM) and do not tender it separately. In these cases, lift maintenance is just one lot within a comprehensive maintenance contract. Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) ties also play a role, as some tenders permit only OEM maintenance.
In addition, inspection-interval and documentation requirements differ by federal state and lift type (passenger lift, goods lift, platform lift), making bid preparation complex.
