What is being bought

Published requirement description

London Underground Limited (LUL) operates and maintains a vast and complex Lift asset base, that ensure accessibility and safe passenger movement across the network.

LUL's lift asset base comprises a diverse range of installations, varying in age, condition, and design. Our lift replacement programme follows our asset strategy of replacements rather than refurbishments and focuses on asset condition not age. It is the current forecast that 6-10 Assets will be replaced per year under this Framework.

LUL intendeds to establish a Lift Replacement Framework through which we intend to appoint three contractors and a fourth as a reserve. The places on the Framework will be awarded according to the evaluation criteria outlined below. Call-offs from the framework to award Lift replacements will be through mini-competitions. These mini competitions may contain several lift replacements.

The first project under this framework is intended to be the lift replacement at Mornington Crescent station. We intend to award this call-off contract as part of the same procurement process used to establish the framework.

We hope that through the award of this framework we will establish good long-term relationships.
