Why it matters
Most lift maintenance tenders are run on email, spreadsheets and trust.
A lift maintenance agreement can run for years and is one of a building's larger recurring contracts — yet most are tendered over email, compared on a single page of pricing, and awarded with no clear record of what was asked or promised. The result is agreements that are hard to compare, hard to hold a contractor to, and quietly renewed year after year.
MAPLE Ascent runs your tender as a structured, fully recorded process. Every contractor prices the same asset register, every clarification is logged and shared with all tenderers, and every bid is assessed on the same basis — a fair, even-handed process by design. And because we know the market and the contractors in it, we can show you where each is strong, where they're not, and which is the right fit for your buildings.
How it works
Four steps from asset register to executed agreement.
We prepare the tender
A draft tender schedule and Conditions of Tender are prefilled with your project details, tender close date and sitewalk arrangements, then finalised by a tender administrator.
The tender runs in the secure Tender Box
Release to tenderers, clarifications and lodgement all run inside the secure Tender Box — every step fully recorded.
Contract collation
Once legal and technical clarifications are closed and agreed, your final maintenance agreement is collated automatically from the final legal terms and the maintenance specification.
Default program
Ten weeks from release to commencement.
Every tender runs to a clear, pre-agreed program. The default settings below suit most building portfolios and are confirmed with you before release.

Do I need a lift consultant to run a maintenance tender?
No. MAPLE Ascent prepares and runs the entire tender for you inside the secure Tender Box — from asset register to executed agreement — so you get a properly structured tender without engaging a separate consultant.
How does MAPLE Ascent keep the tender fair?
Every tenderer is assessed on the same basis — the same asset register, the same scope, and a clarification register shared with all of them. We have no stake in who wins, so the assessment stays objective; and because we know the contractors and the market, we can advise on each one's strengths and the right fit for your portfolio.
What is the Tender Box?
The Tender Box is the secure environment where the tender runs. Release to tenderers, clarifications and lodgement all happen inside it, with every step fully recorded.
Can I tender maintenance for a whole portfolio of buildings?
Yes — one building or a whole portfolio, tendered on the same structured terms. The standard fee covers one building; for portfolios of more than one building, contact Elevator Project Management for a fee proposal.
