What the buyer says

The London Borough of Islington is preparing to procure a number of appropriately accredited contractors to deliver responsive repairs, maintenance, and servicing works to respond to and rectify any breakdown in or malfunction of any part of lift equipment in the Council’s lift stock. The Council has 426 passenger lifts within the housing stock and 52 passenger lifts within public buildings. The Council is considering a range of contract packaging options, including a multi-lot arrangement covering Housing and Non-Housing lift assets. One option under consideration is the appointment of multiple contractors with defined lot responsibilities, supported by resilience arrangements that may require contractors to provide mutual support during periods of exceptional demand, supplier failure, poor performance, or emergency situations. Feedback on the viability of such arrangements is welcomed through this engagement exercise.
