Comprehensive planned and reactive lift maintenance services.

The University of Edinburgh is seeking to gather market information with regards to a potential future tender opportunity - contract for comprehensive planned and reactive lift maintenance services. The contract will require suppliers to provide a fully comprehensive lift service to the University. This will include the regular planned preventative maintenance, 24 hour breakdown response and all repairs to the lifts to keep them operating in a safe and reliable condition. The repairs will include any defects that are reported within the LOLER Thorough Examinations and those identified during Maintenance Evaluation Audits by our Lift Consultants. There are approximately 250-300 lifts in operation across all University sites, using electric, hydraulic and disabled platform lift systems. Interested parties will be required to demonstrate they have the relevant proven experience to deliver the services which are similar in value and complexity of estate. Due to the size of the estate it is anticipated this contract will be divided into geographical lots and therefore reduce any risk associated with delivery of services by one supplier. The procurement strategy and tender documents are currently work in progress and the information provided above may change prior to tender publication. Please record your interest in this notice if you would like to be kept informed and invited to tender if this opportunity were to go ahead. Please note, the University may also contact you prior to any tender publication for the purpose of gathering market information specific to services detailed above.
