| Method Rationale: | The goods lift at the QEII Centre is the original as fitted in 1986, VMS is the only company which is prepared to maintain this lift but in isolation it is not commercially viable for them to do so. Therefore to ensure commercial viability, VMS is awarded the contract for the maintenance and service of all lifts in the QEII Centre. If the goods lift were to break down without this service cover in place, the upper event spaces in the Centre would be have their usage severely restricted. This would result in a significant loss of revenue to the Centre which is a government trading fund and thus a public body. |

The QEII Centre has had to directly award a contract for the servicing and maintenance of the passenger and goods lifts. The goods lift is original to the Centre and of a legacy design which only one company has agreed to service and maintain. To do so for a single lift is commercially uneconomic and therefore the Centre is bundling all lift service and maintenance to one supplier. Failure without repair of the goods lift would cause operations in the upper floor event spaces to be severely curtailed with significant financial loss to the Centre.
