Published requirement description

Habinteg wishes to invite Tender Responses for the supply of services and works in respect of Lifts across the Habinteg estate to ensure all properties remain compliant, whilst residents remain safe within their homes and facilitate daily activity.

The Supplier shall be responsible for all servicing, planned and reactive maintenance of lifts located within properties tenanted by Habinteg. A professionally managed service is to be provided for both Planned and Reactive Maintenance activities.

The Supplier shall ensure the availability of qualified on-call personnel to respond to maintenance issues and system failures twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, throughout the entire calendar year, including public holidays.

Habinteg supports a wide range of customers including older and disabled people, and families with disabled children.

Within the Pricing Schedule of this tender, the Contracting Authority has stated a number of assets/properties that the Supplier will be expected to deliver services to - if this list of assets/properties needs to be modified throughout the contract term, this will be considered a "materialisation of a known risk".
