DN731976 Lift Modernisation Framework Agreement

Hackney Council Seek to establish a Lift Modernisation Framework of experienced and competent Lift Contractors. The purpose of this framework is to deliver annual programmes of work to renew a number of our lifts that are in need of modernisation, by appointing up to three (3) lift contractors to work simultaneously across all regions of Hackney and Hackneys housing stock. The aim is to reduce future maintenance cost and breakdowns and as well as aid in improving the quality of our lift service for our residents and tenants. Hackney have in excess of 600 lifts within its housing stock. A total of 39 priority lifts have already been identified for renewal. In order to improve the overall percentage of modernisation across the stock, these first 39 lifts form a programme of work that has been included as part of the tender process. Potential bidders will be required to price up a programme that include these 39 priority lifts, as part of their tender commercial submission. The 39 lifts will be split into 3 programmes of work. Each Bidder appointed to the Framework will be awarded one Year 1 Programme of work in order to front load the programme and commence work on site as quickly as possible. The top three scoring Bidders in the tender process will be appointed to the Framework. Following further evaluation of individual programme costs and quality scores, each Framework Contractor will then be awarded a programme of work. Each contractor appointed to the framework will be allocated a programme of between 11 - 15 lifts for refurbishment, which will effectively form the first 12 month programme of work. Each programme of work will cover all regions and wards across Hackney. Future works programmes will be awarded based on individual contractors' overall performance, initially based on delivery during the first 9 months. In addition to the Housing Lift stock, this framework may also include ad hoc lift modernisation and renewal work from other departments across Hackney Council, for example corporate and education buildings.The framework would also allow provision for mini competition if required. The framework will have provision for both direct award and mini competition.
